What the petition asks
We want all food, drink and cosmetics containing any harmful or potentially harmful additives, such as flavourings, preservatives, sweeteners, emulsifiers, toxins, chemicals, etc, to have a clear warning label, big enough for kids to instantly identify.
One of the most important aspects of our health is diet and the gut microbiology it supports. There have been some studies that show certain commonly used additives may be harmful. We have a duty to protect people, and especially children, even if the risk is only potential.
