Non-prepacked foods don’t require nutrition information labels. We ask the UK Government to introduce legislation requiring all food service establishments, including cafes, restaurants, takeaways, and bakeries, to display comprehensive nutrition information for non-prepacked foods.

An estimated five million people in the UK have diabetes, with approximately 8% of them having type 1 diabetes (Diabetes UK). For those reliant on insulin, carbohydrate counting is critical to administer the correct dose. Without nutrition information provided by the food service establishment, diabetics are left to estimate this value. This can lead to an incorrect dose of insulin and potentially result in hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia. This legislation would help diabetics all across the country.
