Mars recently funded a deadly experiment on rats to determine the effects of chocolate ingredients on their blood vessels. Experimenters force-fed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose an artery, which was clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals were killed. Mars has also funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim in a pool of a water mixed with white paint. The mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later on. In yet another experiment supported by Mars, rats were fed cocoa and anesthetized with carbon dioxide so that their blood could be collected by injecting a needle directly into their hearts, which can lead to internal bleeding and other deadly complications. learn more... |

"Due to a change in the ingredients used in our chocolate recipes from
1st May 2007 many of our products now contain whey. This is a
by-product
of the cheese making process and uses rennet derived from an animal
source. Therefore we feel it is for individual vegetarians to judge
whether they are comfortable in consuming cheese products that do not
bear a vegetarian symbol; we would consider our products to fall into
this same category.
This includes Galaxy, Mars, Bounty, Celebrations, Maltesers, Milky Way,
Revels, Snickers, Topic and Twix.
Products that are currently in store or that you may have already
purchased that carry a Best Before Date of 1st October or before are
still suitable for your consumption, however if you have purchased any
products with a best before after this date then we will be more than
happy to refund the value of the product. Please see attached lists for
further information."
