Background

Update the law so that nightshade ingredients must be included on food labelling and menus as allergens.

Additional details

Ingredients such as potato can get lost and are referred to as ‘starch’ or paprika as ‘spices’ thus ingredients can be missed in restaurants and in potential purchases
