Petition Action

Label protein content on all food packaging

Petition Details

all food packaging has calories, fats, saturates, sugar and salt but not protein.

Protein is the most important energy resource we have available and to not have the contents visible makes more room for confusion.

Additional Information

Protein is the most important energy source and we need to place more importance on this and by displaying the protein percentage on all food packaging will educate more people and lead a healthier life

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Businesses selling food and drink products are already required to include a declaration of nutrition content on labelling, including the amounts (in grams (g)) of fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt.
