Christmas supermarket goodies Posted by Pam, Dorset on 17/12/2022, 19:45:15 Having looked in vain in several Morrisons for the cakes on the CUK list, I went to M&S as their Made Without Cake used to be lovely - but no sign of anything sweet this year except mince pies which I always make. In a very big Tesco today I was bemoaning the fact that despite an excellent free from section there was absolutely nothing Christmassy when another customer overheard and said she’d seen stuff with all the normal Christmas goodies. There was a really good selection of gf cakes, puds etc etc, some even on offer with your club card. But why on earth do they put it with the stuff we all avoid, and never think to look at? I was able to get various treats but had been about to leave in disgust as I’d asked in other supermarket chains and had no luck. I suspect the positioning of gf might be the same in other stores so have a good look.

Re: Christmas supermarket goodies Posted by Bobby S on 18/12/2022, 12:39:25, in reply to "Christmas supermarket goodies" I agree it's silly. If they really have to put them with the "normal" xmas stuff for some obscure reason, then they could at least put a very large obvious sign in the Free From section telling people where to look. Or put some in both places and see which sells better.

I sometimes have a word with customer services, but of course they usually tell you to complain to head office and head office just don't seem to care.

Re: Christmas supermarket goodies Posted by Sheena on 20/12/2022, 12:11:02, in reply to "Re: Christmas supermarket goodies" Have just e-mailed M&S re lack of products. Our small cool/chill section is even smaller and despite a full end section of delicious looking deserts none from the made without wheat range. Did not have time to read all the labels.
