Make the nutritional information displayed (%) of food poprotionate to the item.
I look at the packet of something and the calories I'm already guilt tripping myself for turn out to be only a 5th of the packet. What do food companies have to hide about their products?
Is their so much sugar /fat that if they were to accurately display it on the packet no-one would buy it?
Whether counting calories to keep your weight down, looking for sugar content as a diabetic or trying to assess the difference between two meals, it's important to be able to have easily accessible information. I know that it's possible to simply do the calculations but why do food companies feel the need to avoid a simpler explanation? Why add another step to the process?
It's not good enough. Food companies need to make the labels easier and more honest and it's time this loophole was closed.

This petition is calling on food companies, not the UK Government or Parliament, to take action.
If you'd like the laws on food labelling to be changed, you could start a new petition about that.
