Stop the misrepresentation of 'high' protein content in food
Enforce stricter standards on the branding of foods said to contain high protein.
Companies sometimes market food as 'high in protein content'. However, these foods often contain a similar amount to their non-protein-branded equivalents.
This is health-washing (the green-washing equivalent); consumers are being mis-sold food that is undeservedly branded as protein-rich.
Consider setting a standard on food branding/marketing to ensure protein marketed foods are not misleading consumers.

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