Make discluding all ingredients on packaging of food a criminal offence.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I recently visited a food outlet with a friend who has a severe nut allergy. She requested a butter croissant and was mistakenly given an almond croissant which was stored with the butter croissant. This could have killed her. We should be made more aware of food allergies and their consequences.

There are loopholes within EU regulation that allows companies to legally not be required to label individually for allergens and ingredients. The EU regulation states that allergens have to be listed on ‘pre-packaged’ foods. However, foods l made fresh and wrapped daily are not required to be labelled. It’s in the best interest of the estimated 44% of British adults who suffer from at least one allergy, and children who live and suffer with allergies, for all foods to be correctly labelled.

Why it was rejected

Pass a law so that food labels must state exactly which ingredients they contain
