The Vegetarian Society Awards 2009
Crumbs – Byron Bay Wins
Best Vegsoc Approved Snack or Confectionary Winner
30 October 2009

As any veggie will know, grabbing a snack on the go, or finding a sweet treat for the kids can be more trouble than it’s worth if you have to read all the small print, checking for gelatine, cochineal or dozens of e-numbers that aren’t suitable. So every treat that proudly displays the vegsoc approved logo is a winner. The overall Best Approved Snack or Confectionary 2009 is Byron Bay Triple Choc Fudge Cookies.

Vanessa Brown, Head of Corporate Relations for the Vegetarian Society said, “Byron Bay Triple Choc Fudge Cookies are the treat you want to give yourself! Completely veggie and melt in the mouth, one really isn’t enough.”

The other nominees shortlisted in this category were: Swedish Glace Smooth Vanilla Dessert, Kettle Chips Lightly Salted, Munchy Seeds Pumpkin Mix, Millions Strawberry Flavour Sweets

Last night the Magic Circle Headquarters in London was the venue for the Vegetarian Society Awards 2009. The evening was hosted by Wendy Turner Webster, broadcaster and author, and patron of the Vegetarian Society.

This is the Vegetarian Society Awards’ ninth year and guests came from across the UK to celebrate the very best in vegetarian food, catering, and lifestyle, highlighting to the nation those companies and services which make life better for vegetarians in the UK.
