Mars Bars Get Veggie Status Back

Mars has abandoned plans to use animal products in its chocolate, and has apologised to upset vegetarians. The firm had said it would change the whey used in some of its products from a vegetarian source to one with traces of the animal enzyme, rennet. The Vegetarian Society organised a campaign against the move, asking members to voice their concerns to parent company Masterfoods.
