Amanda's email (January 2022) Re: Dimple
"Although I emailed Diageo (the parent company of John Haig & Co and Dimple) that I suffered anaphylaxis from their drink and just wanted to know why, "I was told that it is a guarded secret recipe”.
I later called Diageo and asked if their alcohol was vegan or not and they said they would check and get back to me but never did."
