Closed petition Require coconut to be included on food and toiletries labelling

I am one of many people who have a anaphylactic response to coconut, whether it's in the form of milk, oil or the flesh & not just as an ingestible product but also coconut oil, sometimes referred to as Cocos Nucifera oil, in cosmetics and toiletries.

More details

Coconut causes me & many others an anaphylactic reaction that requires the use drugs to prevent death. Currently, coconut oil can be hidden in ingredients list under Cocos Nucifera oil, which many people don't realise is coconut oil. As it's currently not considered a major allergen, it isn't always highlighted on allergy lists and therefore can be easily missed. I think there needs to be a requirement to have it on food and cosmetic labelling.
