Introduce a legal requirement to clearly list ALL ingredients in products

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Too protect people from serious allergic reactions, the government needs too make it a legal requirement to clearly list every ingredient in products. Any product that can be eaten or used for personal hygiene, clothes and kitchen utensil washing needs clear labeling
So much focus is on the "top 14" allergens, yet thousands have life threatening allergies too things outside of those. Are they deemed less important?
For many, their allergen is hidden under generic terms such as "flavouring", "colouring", a letter/number. Non generic terms are also used.
When you contact manufacturers, they can choose not to state if a product contains a particular item.
All allergy suffers want is to know exactly what is in a product. Is that really to much to ask?
