This information from Mars Company was emailed on the 3rd march


Thank you for contacting us.


None of our products contain ethyl alcohol, the alcohol used in intoxicating liqueurs. We do however use iso-propyl alcohol as a solvent in some of our flavourings for Skittles, Starburst, Tunes and Lockets. This solvent is widely used in the food industry, and is different to the alcohol used in beverages. As iso-propyl is volatile, the majority of it is lost during manufacturing.


Please find below, a list of current Mars UK products that are suitable for a vegetarian diet.


We have committed that Mars UK will ensure that a selection of favourite brands, including Mars bars, Snickers bars, Galaxy and Maltesers, will be suitable for vegetarians in the near future.


All our products carry best before dates. Those with a best before date, on or after that shown below, are suitable for vegetarians. We have also provided some frequently asked questions and answers on our confectionary products.

What is the origin of the food colouring Carmine (E120)?

What is shellac?


The female Lac insect produces a resin to cocoon the eggs that she lays. When the newly hatched insects leave the cocoon it is harvested to produce Shellac. Shellac is like honey in that it is a by-product made by the insect, it is therefore considered suitable for Vegetarians.

Jazaki Allah khairan katheeran amma for this thread, it sure is beneficial for Muslims living abroad, however, it will still be useful for people like me. We do have much imported stuff. I need to know how to handle them.
