Rejected petition Implement sustainability labelling on food packaging

The food we eat has an impact on our planet as well as our health. But when we buy our food, we aren’t given any information about whether a product is bad for the environment or not. Food in the UK has nutritional information printed on it. So why not have sustainability information on it too?

More details

There are many factors that affect how sustainable a food product is, meaning there are a variety of ways you could present this information to consumers. To give an idea of how food sustainability labelling might work, I have created 3 different designs that would help consumers make more well informed choices about the food they eat.

Designs and explanations of how they work can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/environment/comments/cw39hc/sustainability_labelling_for_food_packaging/
