Mars Does Not Endorse Deep-fried Mars Bar

The deep fried mars bar by The Carron Fish Bar in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire has been a raving hit for many years.

The fish and chip shop has seized every opportunity to make it known that they are the pioneers of this recipe they created about two decades ago.

Now, The Confectionary giant Mars has written to the Scottish fish and chip shop to put up a disclaimer mentioning that it does not endorse or authorize the product.

The company feels it is time the fish bar puts up this disclaimer on the menu as it does not endorse this product which does not fit the company's intention to encourage healthy living.

'No application for a protected geographical indication has been filed to date. Should an application be filed, unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to support it as deep-frying one of our products would go against our commitment to promoting healthy, active lifestyles,' said Mars.
