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.

Review and reform UK allergy laws & labelling standards for milk allergies
I am concerned about UK supermarket labels that use small 'may contain' warnings, which I feel makes safe choices difficult. We urge the Government to review and reform current laws and standards on allergy labelling to better protect allergy sufferers.
Review the UK Novel Foods Regs to allow medical mushrooms for human consumption
Modernise the UK Novel Foods Regulation so traditional natural products with a history of safe global use can be sold without authorisation. The framework should reflect modern science, cultural diversity, consumer choice and fair access for small UK producers; not an arbitrary 1997 cut-off.
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.
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.
Make pasteurisation labelling mandatory on all dairy products in the UK
Make it a legal requirement for all dairy products (including milk, cheese, yoghurt and cream) to clearly state if they are made from pasteurised milk. Require producers and supermarkets to confirm this in writing on request.
