What is The Vegetarian Society?

The Vegetarian Society's food labelling scheme, known as the Seedling Symbol, was established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. You will find the symbol on over 2000 products including retail food and drinks, catering supplies and household goods. Caterers, restaurants, shops and bakeries can also be approved through our Food and Drink Guild Scheme.

The seedling symbol has strict criteria:

Products have to be free of animal flesh, meat or bone stock, animal carcass fats, gelatine, aspic, or any other products resulting from slaughter.

Products and ingredients should not have been tested on animals.
Eggs used must be free range.
Products must be GMO free.
Products must also be free from cross contamination with non vegetarian products/ingredients in the production process.
