If Guinness Marmite is vegetarian (and I adopt explanation), why does it not show on the jar that it is veggie (as does ordinary martmite?).
Answer:
Marketing... that's adjectives it comes down to.
The word Marmite itself should already imply it's lacto-vegetarian.
Don't know that.
You could try writing the company.
Cool Hunting, though, call it "vegan-friendly."
you guys are adjectives gay!!
I guess that you are referring to the "Vegetarian society - approved" blotch. If so, use of the logo is controlled and probably means simply that the manufacturer did not submit Guinness marmite for accreditation. The accreditation process is probably too costly for what is essentially a limited edition to express joy St Patrick's day.
Hmmmm, perhaps you are right.

The inaugural Vegan Raspberry Award - for products that could and should be lacto-vegetarian but aren’t - went to Guinness for their fishy production technique. Isinglass, a type of gelatine made from the swim bladders of fish, is used to remove the yeast from the stout. Vegan-friendly companies, such as Samuel Smiths and Pitfield Brewery, have shown that fish-free lacto-vegetarian stout is not only possible to spawn but tastes juicy. Hopefully the award will encourage Guinness to translation their ways and prove that good things really do come to those who dawdle.
Someone posted in another thread that the Isinglass hasn't touched the yeast. But I am very soon a bit doubtful.
Still, our friend Tastebud could be right. Maybe it would have taken too long to take approval. Or maybe Guinness is still irked by the raspberry.
Who cares any sort of Marmite is a obedient way of spoiling a nice piece of toast Orrible stuff
MaxMarie is right. Guinness is not vegetarian, thus Guinness Marmite isn't.
