Answer 1

It should be vegetarian yes, not sure if its suitable for halall diets. However there was a big outrage a few months ago when Mars decided they were changing the ingredients of a lot of their products, which made them unsuitable for vegetarians, but that didn't last long because of the public outrage, but Im not entirely sure what the dates of those unsuitable ones were, you could try checking out the Mars website?

Answer 3

they did change the chocolate recipe and included rennet in many of the mars products, dont know if they changed it back again. check the website to be sure.

Answer 5

Answer 6

yes its fine for both diets

Answer 7

I don't believe that Bounty from Mars is vegetarian.

If you check their website (http://www.marsconsumercare.co.uk) they have a section listing vegetarian products and it is not listed.

I personally don't eat any mars confectionery following their complete disregard for the vegetarian consumer when they replaced whey in some products with a non-vegetarian whey, without pre-advising the consumer.
