Closed petition Require that companies add clear ‘added allergen’ labelling when changing recipe

Closed on

This petition is to ask for change. Companies need to take responsibility when packaging products. They need to be held accountable when changing recipes. We ask for transparency, informative packaging and clear alerts of ANY added allergens and ‘may contains’ in a bold and recognised logo.

I have recently witnessed ‘Flora’ adding buttermilk into their product named ‘Flora Buttery’ without any change in packaging and no added allergen alert sticker.

Failing to highlight the additions of allergens to a recipe could be misleading and dangerous. I request that the Government legislate to require ANY added allergens and new ‘may contains’ are alerted on the front of the packaging in a recognised clear and bold logo.
