Rejected petition Ensure all food and product packaging clearly states any high risk additives.

Research on high-risk additives points to inflammation, endocrine and gut issues, and carcingenocity, cause of cancer. Many foods, such as crumpets/ wraps/ pancakes, nuggets, hand wash, pastas and many more contain many high risk additives. This needs to be clearly shown to the consumer.

More details

The consumer should be made aware when a product contains a high-risk additive. These are harmful and can cause terminal illness if consumed regularly everyday. If the high-risk additives are clearly visible on the packet, name and how many, consumers then have a choice whether to purchase and consume. The nutritional value is clearly shown green/amber/red. An indication if what you're consuming is healthy or not. However a 'green' product can still contain high risk and therefor is not healthy.
