More regulation on the nutritional information provided on packaging.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Many people rely on nutrition labels to make informed choices on what they buy and ultimately consume. We deserve to know exactly what goes into our food and not to be told something is healthy when it is not, through clever rewording and withholding of information.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what additional information you would like to be required on packaging. In addition, it is not clear whether you would like Parliament to change the law to require this labelling. You could start a new petition explaining clearly the specific action you want Parliament to take.
