Rejected petition Remove Tallow from the new £5 bank notes
The new £5 notes contain animal fat in the form of tallow. This is unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the U.K.
We demand that you (Bank of England) cease to use animal products in the production of currency that we have to use.
