Rejected petition change the price of lactose free produce

Make lactose free produce the same price as other produce which contains lactose. As a lactose intolerant person it is unreasonably expensive to buy alternative products to prevent us from getting ill.

More details

It is not someone choice to be lactose intolerant, therefore why lactose free produce needs to be vastly more expensive is odd. For those who struggle to work having to pay extra for necessary items to prevent getting ill can cause lots of unnecessary stress.

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 the price of lactose free products are a matter for manufacturers and retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide financial support to people with special dietary needs, to help them with the cost of meeting their dietary needs.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
