Andrex follow M&S in making change to toilet roll inspired by Deborah James that could save lives

One of the UKs best-known brands is set to make a huge change to their products in the hope it could save someone’s life. Andrex, the toilet paper company, has pledged to update their packaging to display symptoms of bowel cancer in a bid to raise awareness of the fourth most common cancer.

The brand is following the lead of Marks and Spencer, who announced a similar change to their packaging in May.

Around 29 million packs of the Andrex Classic Clean toilet roll packaging will feature bowel cancer information, including where to find help on signs and symptoms of the disease, and a new QR code to help raise awareness of bowel cancer symptoms, inspired by Dame Deborah James’ cancer journey.
