Ban nuts and nut products on flights.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I became critically ill suddenly, in anaphylaxis shock after sitting down on my seat that had nut remains from a previous passenger on it and then shortly after, a passenger infront of me ate a snickers bar purchased inflight. The flight had to divert and perform an emergency landing. I nearly died.

Why it was rejected

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

We were really sorry to hear about what happened to you.

We can't accept your petition because the Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. At the moment, this is a decision for airlines. The UK Government and Parliament don't have the power to force airlines to take this action.

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to work with the EU to urge airlines to remove nuts and nut-based products from planes, if that's what you want to happen
