Closed petition Additives should have their ingredients shown, not broadly called 'flavourings.'

Closed on

I would like the broad term words 'flavourings' and 'natural flavourings,' to stop being allowed on ingredients lists, and instead, all the ingredients used in making the additives, provided on the label, so everyone knows exactly what they are eating- it shouldn't be hidden what we're consuming.

Everyone should be made aware of, what they are consuming. By just putting the words 'flavourings,' or 'natural flavourings,' you are hiding what we are putting in our bodies, and not being transparent. Back in the Victorian times, additives were put in bread to make the colour whiter, or the bread seem heavier or thicker, milk also- those were toxic substances- people didn't know then, & don't now. 'Flavourings' are unnatural chemicals, but what chemicals? We have a right to know. Health>profit
