Require food labelled as gluten-free on menus to be cross-contamination free
Restaurants can label food as “gluten-free” on menus even if cooked where cross-contamination occurs, making it unsafe for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. We ask the Government to strengthen the law so that gluten-free food must be prepared to avoid cross-contamination.

Make Carbohydrate Labelling Mandatory in all Restaurants and food establishments
Please consider advocating for legislation that makes the display of carbohydrate content compulsory for restaurant meals, in the same way that calorie labelling is currently mandated. This practical change would make eating out safer and more inclusive for thousands of people across the country.
Recognise garlic and onion allergies within UK food allergen regulations
Garlic and onion allergies can cause severe reactions, but they aren’t recognised in current allergen rules. This means restaurants and food labels often don’t list them, putting people at risk. Recognition would improve safety, awareness and consistency.
Mandate food businesses keep nut containing products separate
Government should regulate food businesses to mandate that nut containing products must be kept separate from other products during storage, preparation and sale. This also includes whilst on display in food selling environments
Ban labels from saying may contain regarding allergens
The government should require food manufacturers to clearly declare whether their products contain peanuts and other common triggers of anaphylactic reactions. This bill should ban the vague phrase “may contain…”, which we think puts lives at risk.
Fund vouchers for free from, vegan & gluten free items for people with allergies
