Why is the warning label on the containers not sufficient?
The FSA believes that the warning does not properly protect consumers, particularly children. The warning label is not on the ‘cup’ containers of the individual sweets, so children or parents would often not be aware of the warning. The warning on the plastic packets/large jars is often in verty small writing and easy to miss. Also small children cannot read. In addition, we do not know if all of these sweets available in the UK come with a warning label.
