Question 35827 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for disabled people, to the accessibility of visually impaired people to the information provided on products which have an expiry date. A certain amount of product information is often written in very small print. However, we note that more and more manufacturers are displaying more distinctly, for example for example by a different color, the presence of food allergens in the composition of the product. This is progress appreciated by consumers. Efforts should be focused especially on the readability of the use-by date or the minimum durability date. Indeed, it can be particularly painful, embarrassing or even dangerous for a visually impaired person not to be able to read the expiry date of a food product or medicine for example. Many visually impaired people are calling for measures to be taken to make essential information about a product more visible and this would promote the independence of older people who may lose their visual faculties as they age. To respond to this daily problem, he would like to know if any regulatory provisions are required. the study to force manufacturers to make certain essential information more readable for the consumer.
