To discuss the prices of Free From foods against ‘average’ foods and the funding
Have discussions with experts on the prices of Free From foods and the difficulties faced by families in being able to afford the basic needs. Also discuss adding funding to lower the prices for struggling families across the uk
There are countless families having to work harder and for longer to afford food. Along with the cost of living crisis, the extra price of free from foods makes the total cost extortionate, these people need support. Food should be a priority not a commodity, so the topic of funding into free from food needs to be raised.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you are concerned about the cost of free-from food, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The pricing of individual products would be a matter for suppliers and retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund vouchers or prescriptions for allergy sufferers to subsidise free-from foods, if this is something you would like to see happen.
We have already published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
