The Marmite Defence League which exists to defend the use of Marmite in a wide range of applications against haters has expressed concern that Anti-Woke elements are trying to cancel Marmite.

Several much loved Marmite applications seem to have disappeared.

These include:

Marmite Easter Eggs

Marmite & Cheese hot cross buns (M&S)

Organiser Keith Flett said, while Marmite or a similar product is manufactured and eaten elsewhere in the world it is a quintessentially British item associated with the country’s brewing heritage. We think it may be under threat from anti-Woke elements who do not want to see experimentation and development in traditional cuisine. How often for example is Marmite praised on GB News?

Where we stand on Marmite

Marmite is a natural product deriving from brewer’s yeast. It is historically a by-product of brewing

It was ‘invented’ by a German scientist Justus von Liebig

Originally Marmite was derived from the Bass brewery in Burton on Trent.

Marmite is salty but also has some health enhancing elements to it including vitamins.

Its recent marketing focuses on a ‘love it or hate it’ element to Marmite, and it is a ‘which side are you on’ food.
