Citizen Petition from Animal Legal Defense Fund, et al.

A private citizen who identifies as a vegan supports the proposed requirement for "contains animals" food labels. They argue that such a disclosure would provide transparency for consumers with allergies, health concerns, or ethical preferences, particularly regarding products with ambiguous ingredients like "natural flavors."

The commenter, a private individual, supports the petition to require "contains animal" disclosures on all food products sold in the United States. They argue that current labeling is insufficient for those with spiritual or moral reasons for avoiding animal products, making it difficult to navigate grocery stores and restaurants safely.

The commenter supports the petition by arguing that foods containing animal products should be clearly labeled as "contains animal ingredients." They state that such labeling is necessary for individuals with life-threatening allergies, health concerns, and specific ethical or religious beliefs.

An individual who identifies as a vegan and a concerned consumer argues that products containing animal-derived ingredients should clearly disclose those ingredients. They specifically request that the species of origin be listed on the Principal Display Panel or the Informational Panel.
