Rejected petition clearer labelling on products contain pork or beef gelatine

Make it more clearer on products labelling as many consumers would not expect pork or beef gelatine in sweets or desserts such as chocolate mousses

More details

Make it mandatory for food companies to state clearly without misleading which desserts and sweets contain pork or beef gelatine to be fair and respect peoples values. For example many muslims would purchase an aero or dairy milk mouse desert thinking there is no pork or beef in it but there is and this is not clearly mentioned without having to look into the small font ingredients listed.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. It's already a requirement for this to appear on labels, but it's a matter for manufacturers on the prominence on the label.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
