To make free-from food available at service stations and airports in the UK.

What the petition asks
Free-from food needs to be available for all people with allergies and an intolerance to foods such as milk, eggs, wheat, nuts, etc. when traveling in the UK.
This is vital as this group of people in particular has no choice but to avoid this food as it will make them extremely unwell. As someone with Celiac disease, I find it extremely difficult to find any food such as sandwiches, wraps, and pasta pots at an airport or a service station.
We could go to a doctor, get a "Medical food" note and pre-buy our food, but why should we have to do that when people without an intolerance or allergies have it all conveniently in front of them with no worries?

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about about what food to sell are a matter for individual businesses, including those located at service stations and airports, not the UK Government or Parliament.
