In 2011, beloved (or reviled) Marmite was banned in Denmark under food safety laws because it was fortified with added vitamins. One Yorkshire born ex-pat living in Denmark told the Telegraph: They don't like it because it's foreign. But if they want to take my Marmite off me they'll have to wrench it from my cold dead hands."

MARMITE: A HISTORY

HOW OLD IS IT AND WHAT IS IN IT?

IN 1902 THE MARMITE FOOD COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN BURTON-ON-TRENT, STAFFORDSHIRE, WHERE THE RAW MATERIAL WAS READILY AVAILABLE FROM THE TOWN'S BREWERS. THE ORIGINAL RECIPE CONTAINED SALT, SPICES AND CELERY. LATER FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B12, THIAMIN AND RIBOFLAVIN - VITAMINS WHICH OCCUR NATURALLY IN SOME FOODS - WERE ADDED IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS.

WHO OWNS THE BRAND MARMITE? IN 1990, MARMITE LTD WAS BOUGHT BY CPC LTD (NOW NAMED BEST FOODS INC). MERGED WITH UNILEVER IN 2000, AND MARMITE IS NOW A TRADEMARK OWNED BY UNILEVER.
