It had been stated that the products made by Masterfoods, including Mars Bars, Snickers, Twix, Bounty, Maltesers, Minstrels and Galaxy chocolate, would no longer be suitable for vegetarian consumption, after the company made a switch to a product containing traces of rennet.

The plans were later scrapped as Mars announced it became "very clear, very quickly" that a mistake had been made.
