Require icon identifying alcohol as an ingredient on menus and food labels

What the petition asks
We want legislation to require an icon be displayed on menus and labels for packaged food, clearly indicating if alcohol is an ingredient. Icons are often used to indicate the presence of allergens, we want similar requirements for alcohol.
Many people are excluding alcohol from their diet due to dependency (alcoholism) or religious reasons. Prescription medication can also have serious side effects when mixed with alcohol. People should not have to ask for this information. It should be clearly displayed as standard.
