Revise legislation on sulphite allergy so all products state the presence.

Petition Details

At the moment only products with 10mg/kg need to declare the presence of sulphites. Individuals react to levels lower than this, with an asthma attack, which is a life threatening condition. Given that individuals with this allergy have life threatening responses the legislation should be changed.
