Perfect Chips for National Chip Week
- and every week!
It's National Chip
Week (17th -23rd February) so why not celebrate this British classic with
an authentic tasting fry-up.
The Vegetarian Society
has approved Harry Ramsden's Traditional Taste Vegetable Oil, a unique
'beefy' flavoured oil that gives chips all the taste of the chip shop
but without the use of animal fats. Not only is Traditional Taste Oil
suitable for vegetarians, it is also free from cholesterol and high in
mono-unsaturates making it the perfect choice for the health conscious
consumer.
Real chip fans will
also be pleased to hear that they can now fry 'again and again' with Anglia
Oil's Again and Again Cooking Oil. This delicious, natural tasting oil
is the first long-life deep-frying cooking oil especially developed for
home use and is fully approved by the Vegetarian Society. Again and Again
offers twice the frying life of traditional oils, contains no cholesterol
and is high in monounsaturates.
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.
