I never heard of it, even though it is made by KRAFT Foods. I supposed that it is mainly marketing in Oz. I visited the website link and couldn't find their listed ingredients. If you have a Vegemite in your cupboard or reefer, would you please list their ingredients for me? Thanks!

Yeast extract, salt, malt extract (from barley), colour(150[c]) OR (150[d]), vegetable flavours, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin.

Also on the label:
