Charlottechicken Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Food company Mars have announced they will be going back to the original recipes for those products recently identified as containing animal sourced rennet. Here's a link to a news article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6673549.stm They had a few complaints.............about 6000 in a week Well done to all who complained!

AnnieP Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Great news! People power! Or a really clever marketing stunt. (I'm SUCH a cynic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well it won't have much impact on me as a marketing ploy - except now that I've managed to wean myself off the M&M's.......... I won't start buying them again! I notice that they were going to be adding the non veggie. whey to their ice-creams as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 'Power to the people'... Layla told me the news with a big smile on her face this morning. Now all I have to do is establish whether or any of the products now going on the shelves are veggie or not and if they are going to use the V symbol on their packaging to help us idetntifiy what is and is not vegetarian.... Thanks to everyone who emailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Oh Lesley! Peanut M&Ms. My ONLY vice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I thought this thread was going to be about some astro-physical catastrophe about to befall us! I'm with Christian on the peanut M&M front......although Chocolate has not passed my lips since Jan 1st in any significant quantity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Oh Lesley! Peanut M&Ms. My ONLY vice! mine as well Christian - or at least it was Only G&B's or other Fair Trade now..... Have you tried the Peanut Butter M&M's? - I've only found them in the US........ they are yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I think my OH had shares in M&M's at one time. Totally addicted. I'm really pleased about the Mars decision, even if it was just because they would loose loads of profit, they did listen to us. I'm a bit partial to crunchies at the moment...
