Standardise UK Crisp Packet Colours Prior To Leaving The EEU

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

As there is no standardisation across the different manufacturers of crisps with packet colour and flavour representation with Cheese & Onion and the Salt & Vinegar flavours being the worst offenders with many brands using blue & green for the packaging leading to people grabbing the wrong flavour.
It is proposed that all manufacturers adopt a standard colour to flavour code so that customers will know exactly what flavour they are buying at a glance.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

You might like to write to crisp manufacturers to make this suggestion.
