Petition Action

Enforce full ingredient listing on ALL bread produced by supermarkets & bakers

Petition Details

Allergens are not always readily identified when flour is used eg soya flour added to bread is not identified unless it is prepackaged, so whole unpackaged loves may not provide full listing of contents.

Additional Information

Food provenance & transparency of ingredients is essential to identify & audit trail contents, particularly so for consumers who are allergic.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you are concerned about allergen labelling, but we're not exactly sure what regulations you would like. For example, whether you would like all loose items to be packaged and individually labelled. Retailers are already required to provide allergen information on request for loose items such as loaves: www.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/media/document/loosefoodsleaflet.pdf

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do
