Chocolate giant Mars faces a second backlash after it was found that three of its most popular products still contain an ingredient from calves' stomachs.

Twix, Milky Way and Celebrations – among the top-selling chocolates in Britain – all contain animal rennet.

'I'm sure there are vegetarians out there eating these products unaware they are unsuitable for vegetarians,' a spokeswoman for the Vegetarian Society said.

Peanut Butter Twix is also available with peanut butter replacing the caramel. Starting in 2005, Dark Chocolate Twix became available, with a dark chocolate coating instead of milk chocolate. Discontinued special flavors include 'Double Fudge' and 'Cookies n Cream.' Twix products are also available as ice cream, including Twix brand ice cream bars, Twix brand ice cream, and Twix brand peanut butter ice cream. In Australia a White Twix is available, covered with white chocolate. In Europe, this was a limited edition. There was also an orange.

Twix is a chocolate-covered chocolate bar made by Mars, Inc., consisting of a butter cookie centre topped with caramel and coated in milk chocolate. Being somewhat smaller in cross section than other candy bars, Twix are typically packaged in pairs. Twix was first produced in the UK in 1967, and introduced in the United States in 1979.

Twix was called Raider in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Norway for many years before its name was changed in 1991 (2000 in Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden) to match the international brand name.

As of 2007, all Twix bars in Europe are no longer vegetarian. This may or may not be the case outside Europe also. The Vegetarian Society is trying to persuade Mars to change all their products to become vegetarian after the vast majority were reverted back due to public outcry in 2007. The whey in Twix, Celebrations, Bounty and Milky Way is still made from animal rennet.
