    		Jelly Babies...for one.

    The Vegetarian Society in the UK has publicly requested that Cadbury Trebor Bassett's reformulate its Jelly Babies product to use vegetarian, rather than animal-derived gelatine.

    		This isn't the answer as I'm sure Basset's jelly babies have been using gelatine for years.

    		While not unsuitable, The Handmade Flapjack company has stopped labeling as such.

    Or are you talking about Masterfoods? Mars bars are a no-no now. Why are they using rennet? Boggles the mind.

    From May 1st 2007, Masterfoods, the UK maker of Mars Bars, Bounty Bars, Snickers, Milky Ways and Maltesers and using processed animal stomachs in their products having previously used vegetarian substitutes.
    Cheaper to produce I presume.
