Vegetarian Society Award Conjures up
Halloween Vision of a Perfect World

The Vegetarian Society Award ceremony is always a spellbinding mixture of anticipation and celebration. Businesses in the food and catering industries cross their fingers in the hope that they will receive one of the prestigious awards. This year the ceremony takes place on the eve of Halloween at London’s Magic Circle. The perfect place and the right time for the Society to work its magic and banish those ingredients that haunt vegetarians who want to enjoy crisps, sweets and yoghurt, safe in the knowledge that they don’t contain any slaughterhouse by-products.

With the tongue in cheek ‘(Im)Perfect World Award’, The Vegetarian Society will be shaking a broom at some of the companies whose products aren’t quite ‘suitable’ for vegetarians - but that so easily could be. The winner will be the product that vegetarians most want to eat, but can’t! The Society hopes the prize will prompt the nominees in this category to reflect on their ingredients and make its vegetarian wish list come true…

The Nominees who might be spooked into action are:

Muller Yoghurts
Bassett’s Jelly Babies
Haribo Sweets
Marshmallows
Walkers Cheese & Onion Crisps
