the articles are from 2007. i distinctly remember that masterfood decided not do put animal rennet in the chocolates after the huge opposition they got from vegetarians and some religious groups in the UK. there is an article on the bbc in regards to that too http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6673549.stm

There were protests by vegetarians, so Mars decided to go back to the halal ingredients. There is a thread about this somewhere on ask.
