It is very important to have food labels in front and in good sized font so that it is visible and understandable for every consumer. This will let the consumer know what are they consuming.

In our country, most people (even if they're health conscious or suffering from metabolic disorders) avoid the hassle of reading back of pack labels, and in some cases the font size of risky substances is so small that many people can't even read or identify them. So FOPLs of a standard size are now a necessity to to stop people from buying what's not good for them.

I am submitting this petition because our Nagan and Board Office pickup points are often merged. As a result, our proper pickup point is not available in the morning or afternoon, which causes inconvenience for us. We request that our pickup point be kept separate and available at both times.

I’m signing this petition because I believe clear Front-of-Pack Labels can help people better understand what’s in the food they buy. Simple and easy-to-read labels can help us make healthier and more informed choices.

For me, Considering the harsh and perpetual nature of recurring diseases across this fragile nation, and deeming to mitigate it's proliferation I solemnly advocate the use and implementation of Front of pack labels on ultra processed food, as a highly recommended effort, and it resonates with the belief of many, that every good act is a charity.

I support this because nutrition information is often written in tiny text on the back of packages, making it hard for many people to understand. Clear front-of-pack warnings would make it easier for everyone to quickly know what they are consuming and make healthier choices.

I completely support this initiative. In Pakistan, we are seeing children suffer from heart attacks and diabetes due to the lack of clear warning labels. The most unhealthy products are designed with kids friendly packaging and cartoon characters to grab children's attention and increase their desire for them. Pakistan needs to act on this immediately to save our younger generation.

I believe it is vital from a health perspective, as it allows people to protect themselves from developing serious illnesses.

I strongly support this initiative. Mandatory Front-of-Pack Warning Labels will help consumers quickly understand the nutritional risks of packaged foods and make more informed choices. Clear and simple food labelling is an important step toward promoting healthier eating habits and improving public health in Pakistan.
