Wall's Ice Cream

Now, it was my brother's birthday the other day, and since he's not the biggest fan of cake, we got him a Viennetta instead. I noticed that it didn't say if it was vegetarian or not on the box, and so decided to have a look on the Wall's website. Worryingly, under its 'vegetarian' section of products, it only lists Calippo Orange and Calippo Lemon-Lime. Given the number of products that Wall's produce, I didn't believe that these could be the only products that are vegetarian, and so decided to email them. Now, they did confirm Viennetta and a number of their other products are not suitable for vegetarians, but, similarly to United Biscuits, their email ended with "This email and any attachments may contain information that is confidential and privileged... You should not copy it or use it for any purpose nor disclose or distribute its contents to any other person." Not wanting to get in a legal battle with Wall's, I shan't disclose here why so many of their products are not suitable for vegetarians. However, I will say this; their ice creams contain whey powder, which is a by-product of the cheese industry. To find out why this relation to the cheese industry may cause their products to not be suitable for vegetarians, check out this old post of mine on non-vegetarian cheeses. Something else that they included in the email, that I didn't ask for, but was greatly appreciative of, was their list of all their products that are suitable for vegetarians (as of April 2020). Now, obviously, this may change over time, but I don't feel so guilty disclosing this information on the internet, since I've seen many websites which do a similar thing of posting companies' vegetarian lists.

The list of their products that are suitable for vegetarians (as of April 2020) is as follows:

• Solero Organic Lemon, Solero Organic Peach
• Magnum Classic Pint, Magnum Almond Pint, Magnum Praline Pint, Magnum Dark Raspberry Pint, Magnum Vegan Classic, Magnum Vegan Almond, Magnum Double Salted Caramel, Magnum Double Dark Chocolate & Raspberry, Magnum White Chocolate & Cookies
• Cornetto Gluten Free & Vegan, Cornetto Mint, Cornetto Classico, Cornetto Strawberry, Cornetto Chocolate, Cornetto Vegan
• Carte D'Or Les Classiques: Coffee, Carte D'Or Rum & Raisin, Carte D'Or Les Classiques: Mint Chocolate, Carte D'Or Organic Vanilla, Carte D'Or Organic Chocolate, Carte D'Or Organic Pistachio, Carte D'Or Organic Columbian Coffee, Carte D'Or Les Classiques: Honeycomb

Interestingly, this doesn't include the Calippos that are listed as their only vegetarian products on their website!
Anyway, hope this helps!
