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.

Improve food labelling laws to clearly list all ingredients
Update food labelling laws so all ingredients, including starches and flavourings, must be clearly listed on packaging and menus. This should apply to pre-packed food, restaurants, takeaways and online food ordering to ensure safety for people with allergies and dietary needs.
Require all educational establishments to show nutritional information on food
Introduce legislation to require all educational establishments to display nutritional information (calories, carbs, sugars, etc) for any food they serve in their canteens
Mandate clear labelling of Coconut Oil and Palm Kernel Oil on food products
Clearly label MCTs (Medium-Chain Triglyceride), such as Coconut Oil and Palm Kernel Oil on products for consumption.
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.
Require manufacturers to label caffeine content on all pre-packed coffee
Pre-packed coffee in the UK (instant, ground, filter) does not have to show caffeine content, unlike energy drinks or medicines with over 150mg of caffeine per litre. We feel consumers like pregnant women and heart patients therefore can't track intake safely.
