What the petition asks

Food Labelling Regulations 1996 require information to be given on all pre-packed foods, so informed choices can be made.
It's strictly forbidden for some Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists & Christians to consume anything associated with Ritual Slaughter [RS] or a Religious Standard [RS]. Please Label 'RS'

'RS' sign signifies:
Ritual Slaughter with or without stunning or Reversibly Stunned [RS], including the Haram 'Rejected Substandard' [RS] meat
Products following a Religious Standard [RS], such as Certification according to Sharia Law.
NOTE: the RS Label is not a sign of authenticity for halal
Shoppers and Consumers need transparency in Labelling of 'RS', so that they do not unwittingly buy something they do not require.
See: goo.gl/ZbTfRZ
We support EU’s Food Information Regulation (FIR).
