Make free from food the same price and size as standard food.

What the petition asks
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.
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.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
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.
