Make labelling food products 'vegetarian/vegan' legal
imagine choosing a way of life to better other living things around you, the environment and a better way of living but being unable to do this to the extent that you wish due to not being a scientist able to read all chemicals/ingredients on the back of food packaging
Those observing strict religious or other dietary regimes often find it difficult to decide from the information on the label if a food is genuinely free of animal products. For example, some E numbers and names used for additives fail to distinguish between those derived from animal rather than vegetable sources. The development of a standard that would ensure or guarantee products as being suitable for vegetarians or vegans would help them make more informed choices.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law to require all food to be clearly labelled to show whether or not it is suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
