Make it compulsory to declare allergenic ingredients in alcoholic distillates

Petition Details

By law, allergens on ingredients lists must be highlighted by means including bold type, italics, underlining - anything that emphasises the presence of 1 of the 14 allergens. Alcoholic distillates are exempt from this law and do not have to declare the allergenic ingredients - a danger to many.

Additional Information

I bought my boyfriend some chocolates for Valentine's from a well-known chocolate shop. He has a severe nut allergy and has been hospitalised before. I checked the ingredients many times and asked staff to check - nuts weren't listed as an allergen. On opening the chocolates, one contained hazelnut liqueur - which by law doesn't have to be declared as an allergen. This is dangerous, and could have killed my boyfriend. Action needs to be taken so derived products also have to declare allergens.
