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.

Review and reassess the UK ban on Kava (Piper methysticum)
Kava, also known as yaqona, is a traditional, non-alcoholic drink with long-standing cultural significance for Pacific Island communities. The UK ban dates from 2003. We ask the Government to reassess this ban in light of updated scientific evidence and international regulation.
Decriminalise and legalise Magic Mushrooms
Decriminalise and legalise the consumption, picking and purchasing of psychoactive mushrooms such as liberty caps and gold caps. Not only should people have the right to these important mushrooms, but we think it would also reduce the amount of money going to violent drug gangs.
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.
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.
