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.
