Rejected petition Environmental impact traffic lights on food labelling

Rejected on 13 February 2019

Minimising the impact of food production on our planet is an imperative. The complexity of food products means that the environmental impact is unclear. Public food habits are changing and time for this to be on packaging so people can start to take control of their own environmental footprint.
