All UK Citizens

The trend for healthier eating has led to an increase of more than
300% in the number of laboratory experiments conducted on animals for
food additives, sweeteners and health supplements in 2006 (4,038)
compared to 2005 (862). In fact, food products are being tested on
animals even though they are already being used by consumers.

These tests, when they involve natural ingredients such as raspberry
juice and cabbage, cannot be for safety purposes. Health benefits of
such foodstuffs are well known and any further information that might
be obtained can be easily researched from human volunteers if this was
deemed necessary.

Early Day Motion (EDM) 4, calls on the UK Government to stop granting
licences for experiments for additives and other foodstuffs.
