Rejected petition Make it a legal requirement for all food and drink to have carbon footprint on

Food and drink produce have a ‘climate footprint’ number on them, like ‘OATLY’ does with their milk, involving adding the approximate number of KG of CO2 per KG of the product. This is important as we are currently facing a climate emergency and need to encourage people to choose low emission foods.
