Finally some national coverage of the very bad decision for Masterfoods not to make all their products certified suitable for vegetarians. There has been an article published in the Daily Mail.
In addition the BBC have now pulled up their socks and have mentioned it on their website:

Some state quotes from the vegetarian society, as mentioned in this blog a few days ago. However, please can people keep up the pressure on Masterfoods and Mars. As mentioned before, please sign the Masterfoods petition which requests that Masterfoods change the ingredients of their products, specifically using rennet NOT derived from animal products so that the whey they use, and in turn the various products from Masterfoods are able to bear a Vegetarian mark or symbol: http://www.petitiononline.com/MarsWhey/petition.html
The Vegetarian society have also updated their website, and now mentions that you can contact Masterfoods electronically using this link here.
