V logo use attack
GREENPEACE and other consumer groups opposed to genetically modified crops, have attacked the Vegetarian Society for allowing its V logo to be used on products containing genetically modified soya.
Money from selling the use of the V symbol is an important source of income to the Vegetarian Society, accounting for about 25% of its earnings.
The society said the symbol was purely a guarantee that food contained no animal ingredients. *
