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 were amended 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 able to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.

National Vegetarian Week 2002 will run from the 8th ~ 14th July. As part of the week's activities, The Vegetarian Society will be hosting the 35th World Vegetarian Congress, Food for all our Futures, in Edinburgh.
