Improve food labelling laws to clearly list all ingredients — 261 signatures. Status: closed.
Update food labelling laws so all ingredients, including starches and flavourings, must be clearly listed on packaging and menus. This should apply to pre-packed food, restaurants, takeaways and online food ordering to ensure safety for people with allergies and dietary needs.
Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be life-threatening, even if they are not part of the top 14 allergens. Starch and hidden ingredients are increasingly used, making eating out and at home unsafe and stressful. Families should not have to risk a child’s health due to unclear labelling. Clear, honest food labelling protects lives and allows everyone to eat safely and with dignity.
