FreeFrom Food Awards – matters arising…

There is no doubt that the quality of the products entered into the 2016 FreeFrom Food Awards has continued to improve. It is rare now that  one meets a product which is obviously 'free from' anything; more often than not they are either indistinguishable from 'normal' products …
