Require caffeine content to be declared on nutritional labelling of products

Petition Details

I call on the Government to require caffeine content to be declared on food and drink packaging in the same way as other key nutritional. Many products which have a high caffeine content are not required to declare this, yet the FSA has advised consumers to limit their caffeine intake.

Additional Information

The Food Information Regulation No. 1169/2011 requires any drink with a caffeine content over 150mg/L to be labelled "high caffeine content". Yet the food standards agency recommends daily consumption not to exceed 200mg daily. This makes it difficult to regulate intake as many products with a high content but below this threshold are not required to declare this. This is especially problematic for those who have been advised to limit their caffeine intake for medical reasons.
