Petition Action

Establish a national food allergy registry

Petition Details

In the UK, an estimated 2 million people are living with a diagnosed food allergy, and 600,000 (1 in 100) with coeliac disease. The top 14 food allergens have been identified and the Big eight i.e gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, egg, milk, fish, crustaceans, soya known to cause 90% of allergic reactions

Additional Information

Food allergy can cause death. Estimates suggest one in 1,333 people in England has experienced anaphylaxis at some point in their lives. Epi-pens are in short supply pre and post Brexit. Allergy awareness education is not mandatory for those serving and /or preparing food across hospitality & food and drinks sector. Eating out of home is a huge risk. People living with food allergies report feeling afraid to eat out. People with food allergies are becoming marginalised. More needs to be done!

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 that you are concerned about people with food allergies, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition calls for a "national food allergy registry", but it's not clear how you want this to work.

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