In a section
[edit]A section labelled "ingredients" will be good.
An outrageous insult
[edit]I always thought that Marmite was British and yet throughout the article we say European. Duh. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 08:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Full-fat oven-ready Marmite Brexit?? "Es war ein sehr kluger deutscher Mann, der dieses feine Produkt erfunden hat!" But yes, Unilever is a British company. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:03, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Well according to the article, Marmite was invented by a German and the distinctive jar is also German.
- I know that according to Wikipedia the Germans invented everything, but this really is taking the biscuit. A Marmite biscuit, of course! 88.87.126.220 (talk) 14:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Serving size?
[edit]The nutritional information section gives the serving size as 8 g. However, it's hard to know from that just how big such a serving is. It would be very helpful if somebody who knew could add a comment to the section telling us how much that is in terms of volume. Is it a teaspoon full, a tablespoon, or what?

- I now have some Marmite, bought by mail-order as nobody local carries it. On the lable, it says that an 8 g serving is also one teaspoon, so I'll add that to the article. JDZeff (talk) 20:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry JDZ, I just removed it as unsourced. read my edsum and see what you think. - Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 20:19, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Vegemite rumour
[edit]A rumour started in the 1990s that Vegemite was called that to distinguish it from Marmite, which, according to the rumour, was made from animal products.
This was of course, untrue, as Marmite has always been an all-vegetable product, but it caused decrease in sales to people who don’t eat animal products. So,the company was at some pains to rebut this notion, even starting to label the product ‘100% vegetarian’.
If this can be properly sourced, it would be a useful addition to the article, as part of the subject’s social history. ~2026-14570-26 (talk) 14:52, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
