I went into the SUSU shop for lunch, and was disappointed becasue there appeared to be no gluten free meal deal sandwiches or salads available. There were plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans (which for most people is a lifestyle choice), but nothing ready to eat for people who are gluten free (and have no choice because it is an autoimmune condition).

Dear Student,
Apologies for the delay in communication.
I had had a response from the Shop Manager.
They have said that contacted our supplier to let them know that there is an issue with the quantity of stock with the gluten free products. They have a meeting scheduled later in the month and will raise this issue.
Please email me at president@soton.ac.uk to discuss this further, as I will be closing this submission now.
Many thanks,

Dear Student,
We stock a range of gluten-free options in the meal deal, and these can be identified by the yellow sticker on the packaging.
I have asked our Shop Manager, who is meeting with our supplier this month, to ask whether the gluten-free options can be both extended to more options and increased in quantity.
I will respond again once I have their response.
Many thanks,
Lawrence Coomber
