PETITION TO THE Government of Canada

We, the undersigned, residents of Canada draw the attention of the Government of Canada to the following:

THAT it is estimated that as many as 1.2 million Canadians may be affected by food allergies and these numbers are increasing, especially among children. The food products most commonly associated with severe allergic reactions in Canada are eggs, milk, peanuts, seafood, sesame, soy, sulphites, tree nuts and wheat. These are otherwise known as the priority allergens. Currently in place are labelling laws for foods that have been made or in contact with any of the priority allergens. Nothing is in place in stores selling food and other commodities that prevents cross contamination with nuts and tree nuts.

THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon the Government of Canada,

To bring forward legislation that would require tree nuts (including but not limited to: walnuts, pistachios, almonds, brazil nut, cashew nut, pecan, hazelnut) and peanuts, to be sold pre-packaged, with mandatory labelling, or in a closed bin to help prevent serious life-threatening anaphylaxis.
