whats the issue?
Chocolate maker Mars apologised on Sunday for a decision to use animal products in chocolate bars and said in future its candy would be suitable for vegetarians. The company said it was a decision announced last week to change its chocolate recipe to include trace amounts of rennet, a natural enzyme produced from the stomachs of calves which is used in traditional cheese and chocolate making. That recipe change had infuriated vegetarian campaigners. Forty members of parliament signed a protest petition, and the media was bemused. The company did its best to sound contrite. “It became very clear, very quickly, that we had made a mistake, for which I am sorry,” Fiona Dawson, managing director of the Mars snack food business in Britain, said in a statement. “There are 3 million vegetarians in the UK and not only did we disappoint them but we upset lots of other consumers,” she said. They got more than 6,000 calls and e-mails in the daysSo they would make the chocolates more suitable in the future
who is involved?
The animals, vegatarian people, and normal people, and the makers of “Mars” chocolate bars.
what would i do if i’d be directly involved?
well, there’s not a lot i could do, because they alreaady said sorry, and because they already tested it on the animals. But i would claim about them, because it’s just wrong to test things on animals…
