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.
