So I want to raise the issue to Coeliac UK and the supermarkets of how many coeliacs don't support oats from being in the free from range. Many big supermarkets do include oat flour in there 'free from' range and this is only restricting a coeliacs already restricted diet further. So please sign if you agree Thank you

I have been reviewing the feedback provided in the comments regarding the inclusion of oats in products labeled as free from. It is clear that the current labeling standards often fail to account for the specific needs of individuals who react to avenin. I am presently preparing a formal request for information from several major retailers to determine why these ingredients remain standard in their collections.

The momentum behind this petition highlights how many of us feel restricted by the current inclusion of oats in the free from range. I appreciate the stories shared by those who live with the reality of this daily challenge. We have reached a meaningful point that ensures the concerns of our community cannot be ignored by retailers.

ive been told by my doctor to avoid them completely so it is really unfair when they are in everything now.
so tired of having to check every single label for hidden oats. just give us proper gluten free stuff without the extras.
it makes me so sick every time i accidentally eat something with oats in it. stores need to stop hiding them in the free from section.
RIDICULOUS that they call it gluten free when it still makes me react like i ate wheat. keep oats away from the safe products!
stop putting this in our food it is dangerous for people who are super sensitive.
please stop this mass posioning

I fully support this petition. To say that it is ok because they don't feel the affects is morally wrong as the damage internally no matter how small is still being done. It puts people at higher risk of bowel cancer too. Those that say some can tollorate oats, openly admit that others cannot but have decided to back the use of oats in nearly all formerly gluten free products. This is deliberate descrimination and cruel behaviour towards a minority disability group which is against the law and morally wrong!
