Scottish charities demand retailers provide braille labelling on food products

SCOTTISH charities are launching a campaign to demand retailers provide braille labelling on food products.

To mark World Braille Day,charities are calling for a statutory duty to be placed on businesses and retailers to provide braille labels on food products detailing the name of the item and the use by and sell by dates.

Currently, braille labelling is only required for medicines, meaning the visually impaired are not able to identify the food products they wish to purchase and use.
