USE OF ANIMAL BASED RENNET BY MASTERFOODS LTD

That this House notes with concern the decision by Masterfoods Ltd to start using animal based rennet in their confectionery products, such as Mars Bars and Snickers; recognises that this decision will mean that many people are unable to eat their products; agrees with the Vegetarian Society that the company's move is incomprehensible; considers this to be a regressive step in contrast to other producers who are removing animal products from their ingredients; and calls upon Masterfoods to reverse its decision without delay,
