Rejected petition To write the Alcohol word in the ingredients list of the products in Bold
To encourage the supermarkets and companies to write the word alcohol when it is used as an ingredient in the products in Bold. As milk and wheat are usually written.
More details
By doing so people who do not consume alcohol in any form will immediately realise its usage in products. In this way, we save time and embarrassment. And no more stopping in the crowded aisle of supermarkets just to read the long small words that create the ingredients list.
