Rejected petition Make free from food the same price and size as standard food.
After my little boy was diagnosed with coeliac I came to realise how unfair free from food was to those who not just want it but need it. Yet the price of free from is more than double to that similar product that are not free from, and a lot smaller! And no help can be claimed with price of these.
More details
Everything from pasta to cereal, if it is free from it is half the size of what it would be if it wasn't free from and sometimes over double the price.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This would be a matter for manufacturers and retailers. You could start a new petition calling for a clear action that is the responsibility of the Government or Parliament, for example calling on the Government to subsidise certain types of food or reduce taxes on gluten free food if that's something you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
