Best Vegsoc Approved Breakfast Product Winner announced
30 October 2009


Whether you’re up with the lark or have to be dragged kicking and screaming from under the duvet each morning, everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The Vegetarian Society is pleased to announce that the winner of the Best Vegsoc Approved Breakfast Product is Whole Earth Peanut Butter.

Vanessa Brown Head of Corporate Relations for the Vegetarian Society said, “It was very difficult to choose a winner in the category until we tried the Whole Earth Peanut Butter on toast. You forget how simple and satisfyingly good it is. It’s a great product to have in your cupboard whether you are veggie or not. ”

The other nominees shortlisted in this category were: Rude Health Fruity Date Porridge,
Dorset Cereals Berries and Cherries Muesli, Marmite and Quorn Streaky Bacon Style Strip.


The Vegetarian Society Awards 2009 winners were announced last night at the Magic Circle Headquarters in London. The evening was hosted by Wendy Turner Webster, broadcaster and author, and patron of the Vegetarian Society.

This is the Vegetarian Society Awards’ ninth year and guests came from across the UK to celebrate the very best in vegetarian food, catering, and lifestyle, highlighting to the nation those companies and services which make life better for vegetarians in the UK.
