If we don't participate, we can't complain can we?

Wow, that was a marathon not a sprint. Survey completed. Thanks Benjamin123 for spotting this and sharing. FSA appear to be taking it seriously. I shall watch with interest.

Let's hope they sort this madness out. I'd also like them to take the labelling of ingredients that are gluten derived seriously as well and that massive pain in the butt 20ppm elephant in the room. Slow shunts in the right direction.

I would like ingredients derived from wheat to be labelled as wheat derivatives, such as maltodextrins. Currently, the base material is not required to be labelled.
