Condomania...
Make Love the Vegetarian Way

 

After intense and vigorous trials here at the Vegetarian Society we are ecstatic to announce that the clever dicks at Condomania have gone veggie crazy. We can happily assure you that the only bit of an animal that gets into these condoms is very much alive!

The growing number of vegetarians and vegans in the UK will be getting excited at the variety and groaning with relief when they experience Condomania’s full product range. The only dilemma will be whether to go for Extra Ribbed, Extra Large, or whether to just get fruity with the Flavoured Selection. For those who fancy a bit of fun there are even South Park Condoms (for aspiring Chefs) and Purple Ronnies for your purple ronnies!

Always be prepared for spontaneity. Keep your personal supply of Vegetarian Society approved condoms stocked up, give Condomania a call on 01635 874 393 or visit the online shop at www.condomania.co.uk

The Vegetarian Society’s ‘approved trademark ‘ was established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and toiletries.

The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting four firm criteria: Products have to be free of animal flesh, meat or bone stock, animal carcass fats, gelatine, aspic or any other products resulting from slaughter. Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested on animals since 1986, any eggs used in products must be free-range. In 1998 the criteria was modified to exclude genetically modified organisms as these will generally have been tested on animals.

The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from the Vegetarian Society approved symbol.

The Vegetarian Society, is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.

The Vegetarian Society Awards 2002, which promote good practice in the vegetarian food and catering industries will be held on 7 November 2002 at The Waldorf Hotel, The Strand, London.
