This petition was submitted by Jessica Davies, having collected a total of 308 signatures.

Text of petition:

Imagine navigating daily life knowing that one wrong bite could jeopardise your health or the health of someone you love. For my son, and countless others worldwide, this is a constant reality. He has a severe allergy to potatoes—an ingredient that often hides behind vague terms like "starch" on food labels, and sometimes not labelled at all.

Additional information:

The lack of clear, specific labelling poses a serious risk. This is more than a matter of convenience; it’s about safety and the right to make informed choices about what we consume. Every consumer deserves to know exactly what ingredients are in their food.

Empowering consumers with accurate information protects not only those with dietary restrictions but also fosters trust and accountability in the food industry.

Join us in advocating for change. Sign this petition to mandate detailed and specific food labelling. Together, we can create a safer and more inclusive food landscape for everyone.
