This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition To make free-from food available at service stations and airports in the UK.
Free-from food needs to be available for all people with allergies and an intolerance to foods such as milk, eggs, wheat, nuts, etc. when traveling in the UK.
More details
This is vital as this group of people in particular has no choice but to avoid this food as it will make them extremely unwell. As someone with Celiac disease, I find it extremely difficult to find any food such as sandwiches, wraps, and pasta pots at an airport or a service station.
We could go to a doctor, get a "Medical food" note and pre-buy our food, but why should we have to do that when people without an intolerance or allergies have it all conveniently in front of them with no worries?
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about about what food to sell are a matter for individual businesses, including those located at service stations and airports, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
