More details

A loaf of normal Asda essentials bread is £0.45p
The cheapest loaf of Gluten Free bread in Asda is £1.90, and the loaves are smaller. Gluten free products that have a short shelf life, like bread, tend to go really quickly as well, so if you had to buy a “brand” gluten-free bread like Warburtons, it goes up to £2.15.

Lactose-free milk in Asda is £1.40.
If you work out the price of 1litre from a 4 pint bottle of normal milk, it’s £0.56p.

People on low incomes simply cannot afford this.
