‘Chelsea Café’
Vegetarian Society
Approved
Alcoholic Jelly from Patisserie One
The Vegetarian Society
is very pleased to give the stamp of approval to Patisserie One’s
indulgent range of ‘Chelsea Café’ alcoholic jellies.
As a perfect end
to a grown-up meal or a delightful, sensual snack, choose from Chelsea
Café Kir Royale - delicious champagne jelly with floating fresh
nectarine and raspberry, set on top of a blackcurrant compote, or Pina
Colada - sublime Pina Colada jelly with the trademark floating fruit
-
fresh pineapple and blackberry- placed on a mango compote.
Created by William
Curley, former Chef Patissier at The Savoy, Patisserie One’s new
range is sheer heaven and at just 100 calories per pot Chelsea Café is
positively saintly!
Chelsea Café
jellies are exclusively available in Waitrose stores priced £1.39
per 135g pot.
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 the following criteria:
Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustacea.
Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal
fat.
Any eggs used in the product must be free-range.
Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested on
animals since 1986.
Approval will not be given to genetically modified ingredients as these
are likely to 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.
