We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Ensure all ingredients and derivatives are listed on infant & maternity products
While breastfeeding my son who is allergic to dairy & soya, I purchased some Breastfeeding vitamins. After 24 hours my son became poorly which resulted in me double checking the ingredients, one of which turned out to be soya.
More details
Some derivatives do not need to be listed & are exempted by EFSA, but as this product is specifically for consumption of breastfeeding mothers, I feel it critical that such products be labelled comprehensively.
Allergic reactions of infants (diarrhoea or vomiting, shortness of breath, itchy throat, r soreness) can take weeks to pass. For some this can be enough to end a breastfeeding journey prematurely.
Requiring all ingredients and derivatives be listed would enable parents to avoid allergens.
