1) vegan company spotlight

The first vegan company that I would like to feature in our spotlight is Plamil Foods because they are probably one of the longest running. Originally the company was set up in the 1960's to produce an alternative to dairy milk, producing milk from plants, the original 'soya milk' called Plant Milk. PLAnt MILk became Plamil Foods. 

All their products are suitable for vegans and are also gluten free. Plamil's chocolate is almost a 'guilt free indulgence' and even comes as a 'no added sugar' bar, sweetened using Xylitol, which is made from birch trees. They also have a new range of snack bars, an organic dairy free chocolate spread and the ever popular carob bars. 

Ethics are high on the agenda securing high scores in the Ethiscore ratings published by Ethical Consumer magazine. From sourcing ingredients right through to the way they do business ethical issues are at the forefront and in fact all the energy used to make the products is sourced from 100% renewable energy.

Look out for their yummy chocolate range at your local health food store.
