Best Answer

Vegemite was made to meet a need that opened up due to World War I.

Vegemite was first developed in 1922 by food technologist Dr Cyril P Callister when his employer, the Australian Fred Walker Company, had him develop a spread from brewer's yeast after World War I had disrupted the supply of imported yeast spreads.
