Closed petition Make food and drink labelling more specific when stating may contain nuts

Closed on 7 March 2019

So many packaging contains the phrase “may contain nuts”. This needs to be more specific as someone with a peanut allergy may not have an allergy to any other nuts but won’t buy the product because it’s not specific enough even though this particular nut may not be present.

most manufacturers use the term “may contain nuts” for example brands such as Cadbury, Kellogg’s, Peters pies the list goes on. The labelling has been seen on yoghurt, cereals, baked goods and even bread. People with a certain nut allergy should be able to look at the packaging and see what nuts could be present so that they’re not excluded from all nuts that they are able to consume
