Milestones

We want the Government to require food, cosmetic, and medical product labels to more clearly and explicitly disclose any animal-derived ingredients. This would include pork, beef, gelatine, insects, or enzymes. We think this would help protect religious, ethical, and dietary rights of consumers.

Many UK consumers including Muslims, Jews, vegetarians, and vegans may unknowingly be consuming animal-derived ingredients because of labels which we believe are too vague. We think the current labelling regulations can deny informed choices, erode public trust, and violate religious, ethical, and dietary rights and beliefs. Requiring producers to state directly that the product contains animal-derived ingredients on labels of relevant products would better respect what we feel are basic rights.
