Found this when trawling through the internet. There is a box to tick for testing new products.

Enjoy!:T

No way! Linda was a strict vegetarian and there is no way animal products would have been used in any of the food bearing her name even though she obvioulsy had nothing to do with it anymore. The food products are approved by the Vegetarian Society and they wouldn't do that if there were any concerns.

Thanks OP, have joined up and am a happy veggie

It wouldn't let me be a female!
I did sign up though.
When Linda was still alive I wrote a letter to her saying that I like her products and she sent me £5 of vouchers.

Re, whether there were ever animal products in the food, I did a web search and couldn't find any info at all to back up what a couple of posters have said. The only "news" items I found were just about the company being bought over a few years ago and the products being revamped. You'd expect a story, or even a rumour, about a company as well known as this doing anything unacceptable to have been well covered by the media.

Before the revamp, the LM products were to die for. Now they all suck

If you like Linda McCartney vegetarian food, you can register on the site for updates/offers and the form asks if you would be willing to take part in product research. Sounds interesting....

Has anyone tested anything yet?

I signed up ages ago but haven't heard anything more from them

My goodness, that's shocking- don't ever remember reading/hearing about this. When did it happen? Does anyone know any details about this- is it true?

I remember this, I think Linda was still alive at the time. Obviously they didn't know about it & sorted it out when it came to light

Overpriced and not very good!

this was way back in 1999 when they found GM organisms in some of the food:
