Rejected petition Make meat/animal products as easily identifiable as allergens on food packaging

Around 1 in 5 people in the UK are now vegetarian/vegan yet food shopping for us is still a struggle. There's no regulation for foods containing animal products to be easily identifiable and shopping takes much too long. Foods with animal products should be as easily identifiable as allergens.

More details

Vegetarianism and Veganism is on the rise with an estimated 700% increase in vegans in the last two years alone.
