Research shows forever chemicals (PFAS) and VOC (volatile organic compound) contamination in UK products from food packaging to fresh produce, and everyday items. We call on the Government to mandate testing for all products before they reach consumers, ensuring only safe goods are sold.

Set legal limits for PFAS in drinking water, ban PFAS in consumer goods and food
Introduce binding legal limits for PFAS in UK drinking water. Ban PFAS in cookware, cosmetics, fabrics, carpets and food packaging and pesticides with no extended phase-in period. Make polluters pay for clean-up and force companies to switch to safe alternatives, with penalties for non-compliance.
Ban palm oil in all food that is sold and manufactured in the UK
We call on the government to introduce legislation to ban palm oil as an ingredient in all foods manufactured or sold in the UK. This should include a phased transition period for businesses to reformulate products using more sustainable and locally sourced or low impact alternative oils.
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.
Ban the use of pesticides in children’s playgrounds and in schools in England
We urge the Government to ban the use of pesticides in children’s playgrounds and schools in England, to protect children from what could be harmful chemicals.
