When Shamili left her home in India's Bengaluru city on Wednesday, it wasn't to see her favourite cricket team - she isn't even a fan of the game.

She said: "'TikTok should be responsible for ensuring that all their UK food sellers meet legislative requirements to sell food products on their app."Any that don't should be immediately removed from the app and investigated, but ideally this should not happen if their checks and balances are rigorous and in place."

After her daughter's death, new safety rules, known as "Natasha's Law", were introduced which require full ingredient and allergen labelling on all food made on premises and pre-packed for direct sale.Kate believes TikTok is allowing sellers to "swerve" basic food labelling requirements as the app allows people not to list any ingredients at all and thinksthe platform should penalise those who don't provide the correct information.

"Since Natasha's Law has come into effect I feel that, in general, allergy labelling has improved, but it's frightening that a huge platform like TikTok does not have adequate measures to ensure that labelling is in place," she said."The thought of someone with a food allergy, or an allergy parent, buying items that they assume are safe, when in fact they may not be, is really scary."

Mr Williams from Anaphylaxis UK says the ultimate responsibility lies with the seller but does think TikTok could do more.

"At the moment it's being used as a platform to sell things that may not be safe. They [TikTok] do need to do more," he said, "There's a lot of people making a lot of money, great side hustle, but they're putting people at risk."Mr Stults adds: "They're already expensive and the potential is that they will get more expensive."

Also, trade wars cut both ways. He says the tariffs announced against Canada are having a devastating impact on US wine exports."Canada is the most important export market for California wines, and one of the top export markets for Napa Valley wines. Right now, there are zero Napa Valley wines on the shelves of stores in Canada.

"They've removed all American alcohol beverage products from their store shelves!"Mr Stults adds: "We just want to compete on an even playing field with our friends and neighbours all over the world. That's our ask and that's our hope."
