Require all food products to have braille labels

Closed 85 signatures

What the petition asks

I think all food products should come with labels in braille on their packaging.
Without such labels, visually impaired people can struggle to find what they need and this is an inconvenience. Why isn’t braille standard on food products’ packaging? I feel having this on various products would enable blind people to be more independent. As it stands there are only braille on very few products such as bleach or painkillers.
