Rejected petition Redesign the new five pound notes so they do not use animal products.

It has been brought to my attention that the new five pound notes contain tallow, an animal-derived product similar to suet which is used to make many soaps and candles.

I believe this is unacceptable and removes the autonomy we have to choose not to use animal products in our daily lives.
