Encourage manufacturers to use natural sweeteners rather than aspartame
As stated in a previous rejected petition we are wanting the government to encourage manufacturers to use natural sweeteners opposed to the cheaper aspartame as Aspartame is 50% phenylalanine which is not good for a Pku person. Aspartame is simply not trusted by many! So why allow it’s use
Other natural sweeteners are by far more safer somtbe use of those should be encouraged. The government rushed through a sugar tax without thinking about its effects on people with sugar dependant illnesses.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're still not sure exactly what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
We understand that you'd like the Government to encourage manufacturers to use natural sweeteners rather than aspartame, but we're not sure exactly what you mean by that.
For example, you might want the Government to encourage this by making specific changes to the tax system. Alternatively, you might simply want the Government to ask manufacturers to do this.
