Petition Require food labels to clearly indicate if food products contain alcohol
It is normally easy to identify if a food product is suitable for vegetarians because of the much-recognised "V" symbol. As a Muslim, I often select such products, only to read the ingredients list and discover that they contain alcohol, the consumption of which is forbidden in Islam.
More details
It would make life so much easier and would mean less time running through every ingredients list on every food product whilst shopping, if there was a mandatory identifying label for alcohol such as "A". This would be useful for anyone who does not wish to consume alcohol in any form, but in particular for Muslims.
