Masterfoods said the change was due to it switching the sourcing of its ingredients and the admission was a "principled decision" on its part.

The % of people that know there is rennet in the candy is utterly and completely NOTHING compared to the total population group that buys the candy.
If masterfoods looses some of the few people that know whats in this candy, they couldn't care less and they wouldn't loose a dime over it.
Just think for a moment and ask some people in your neighbourhood if they know the ingredients of a Mars bar.

I'd also point out red M&Ms contain a pigment obtained from the juice of dead beetles. Enjoy. en.wikipedia.org...

Red was eliminated in 1976 because of health concerns about the red dye amaranth (FD&C Red #2), a suspected carcinogen. Despite the fact that M&M's did not contain the dye, red M&M's were removed to satisfy worried consumers. By 1987, the public had forgotten the scare, and the red candies were reintroduced. They currently contain Allura red AC (FD&C Red #40). In Europe, Allura red AC (E129) is not recommended for consumption by children. It is banned in Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, and Norway. Instead, Cochineal (E120) is used In the red shells.
