Magnum ice-cream is a 100% pure Vegetarian product. In the interest of consumer awareness this has been declared on the packaging which carries the standard ‘Veg’ logo symbolized by a Green dot.
I have heard that Magnum Ice-cream contains emulsifier E-471, which can be sourced from animal fat. Is this true? Does this mean that Magnum ice-cream is not vegetarian?
Magnum is a 100% pure Vegetarian product & does NOT CONTAIN any ingredients with animal fat.
Magnum ice-cream uses a standard emulsifier which is classified as E-471 under the Indian Food law. This is a commonly used ingredient in the ice-cream industry & is used by most other ice-cream brands as well. The emulsifier used in Magnum ice-cream is derived from a pure vegetarian source which is palm based and NOT animal fat, and hence is a 100% pure Vegetarian product. This is also indicated on the packaging of the product which carries a ‘Veg’ logo symbolized by a Green dot.

I've emailed them to ask and they replied it's not suitable for a vegetarian or halal diet.

Yeh it's suitable for vegetarians in India but not in the UK... different methods/ingredients probably
Opening post
Morrisons online is showing £2 each
They had 2 whole freezers full so I'm guessing they've put it down to £1 for too much stock
Saw these yesterday but forgot to post
