Total authentic Greek
Yoghurt has received the approval of the Vegetarian Society. The vegetarian
range includes Total Greek Yoghurt, Total Light, Total 0%, Total Sheeps’ Yoghurt,
Total Honey Twinpot, Total Halloumi Cheese and Total Tzatziki Dip.
Free from artificial
additives and preservatives, Total Greek Yoghurt is a live yoghurt which
is made using traditional Greek methods so that the end result is a thick
strained yoghurt that has a smooth, rich and velvety texture and a deliciously
creamy taste.
Total Greek Yoghurt
is produced in a state-of-the-art factory just outside Athens and imported
daily by Gordon Conrad Limited, so you can be guaranteed that this Greek
delight is not only authentic but fresh too!

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.
National
Vegetarian Week 2003 takes place from 19-25 May.
