• Marmite Worries

    Britain is heaving over Brexit, and the pound is bouncing around near
    its historic low.

    But those arengCOt the only issues giving Britons a headache. In July, The Guardian reported that the food giant Unilever might be considering
    offloading Marmite, BritaingCOs much-loved (and much-hated) condiment.

    In 1902, a German scientist, Justus von Liebig, accidentally discovered
    that a spread could be made from yeast extract, a byproduct of brewing
    beer. The spread, called Marmite, has been made in England ever since.
    (New Zealand makes its own version, and Australia has a similar product, Vegemite.)

    The salty, dark paste is an acquired taste, often spread on buttered
    toast. Aficionados use it in everything - even desserts.

    Its popularity was underlined in 2016, when there was a run on stores
    during a brief tiff between Unilever and the supermarket chain Tesco.

    The latest concerns over Marmite arose after UnilevergCOs chief executive
    said in June that the company would retain only brands that "have a
    purpose" - meaning, he said, those that "take action and demonstrate
    their commitment to making a difference" on social or environmental
    issues.
