Ration gluten-free food to protect those with particular dietary requirements

Closed 36 signatures

What the petition asks

Coronavirus has resulted in many people buying gluten-free food, even if they don’t have any dietary requirements. This has resulted in shortages for people who are coeliac, or have other dietary requirements.
The Government should implement rationing of gluten-free food, so it is only available to people are coeliac, or have other specified dietary requirements. I am finding it hard to buy food for my daughter, as are others, and this is not fair for people have particular medical conditions or dietary requirements.
