This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition ban the use of the key and deathspike on tins of corned beef.
Force corned beef manufacturers to use normal tins like other canned good instead of this outdated, dangerous deathtrap.
More details
In the year 2020 I cannot fathom how we are still allowing corned beef manufacturers to get away with something that was brought in during war times. A product that has a key on to open is probably sensible if you are knee-deep in god-knows-what on the front lines of a trench fighting for King/Queen and country, but now we should have collectively moved on from this dangerous, awkward fingerslicer. It is ridiculous that this has been allowed to carry on for so long. Change it.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
The type of can used for particular food products is a matter for individual producers, not the Government or House of Commons.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
