Require coconut be labelled as an allergen on food packaging

Summary

Require coconut be labelled as a mandatory allergen on all food packaging. Any product containing coconut must clearly list it. Other countries, including the US and Canada, already require this. Clear labelling could protect children and adults at risk of life-threatening reactions and death. Coconut allergy can be life-threatening. My child has severe reactions, including eye swelling, digestive issues and risk of anaphylaxis. In the UK, coconut isn’t mandatory to label, putting families at daily risk. Mandatory labelling could prevent serious allergic reactions, hospitalisations, and save lives, align the UK with safer international standards, and give families confidence their food is safe.
