A big challenge

What to eat when you're away from home is perhaps the biggest challenge for someone with coeliac disease who's trying to keep to a gluten-free diet. In every aspect of life, people eat and drink on the go and this trend is growing. It seems at the moment, that providing for the needs of customers with coeliac disease in the food service sector is not keeping pace with demand.

Amongst our members the biggest issue is how to eat with confidence outside the home, where you are no longer in control. In schools, the workplace, hospitals, care homes, whilst traveling or when socialising, the same problems arise.

A number of organisations and individual chefs are doing great things for people with coeliac disease, ensuring that they get the same quality of service as other customers, and awareness is growing. We believe that there is a big opportunity out there for this market to grow as fast as the 'Free From' sector in retail has done. We hope you'll agree and choose to work with us to make it happen.
