CHOCOLATE FOR VEGETARIANS

Tabled by Dr David Drew (Labour (Co-op)) 29 signatures

The motion

That this House is appalled at the decision taken by Masterfoods to begin using animal rennet to produce the whey required for making the ingredients included in chocolate, rather than the vegetarian alternative; notes that this means that vegetarians can no longer eat Mars Bars, Snickers, Maltesers and Milky Way; recognises that this is purely a cost-cutting exercise and clearly discriminates against vegetarians; and asks the company to reconsider its decision as a matter of urgency.
