The FreeFromFoods Awards shortlist……

22/02/2013 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  1 Comment

Bread tastingThe wires have been, as you would expect, humming since the publication  of the FreeFrom Food Awards shortlist on Wednesday. A few disappointments that judges had not found favourite products quite as irresistible as hoped but  a great deal more joy as freefrom companies both new and old found that their products had indeed found favour!

‘I would just like to say a big ‘thank you’ for this great news. I had hoped that maybe we would receive one nomination but two – far better than I could have hoped!  Fantastic!’

‘Just wanted to say hurray – and many thanks for letting us know and everything. Really over the moon to be shortlisted again.’

‘Just seen the shortlist – the team are ecstatic!’

‘THANK YOU!!!!! So much!!! One year old and we are SO proud to have entered three sausages and got all three on the shortslist! To be honest, we are quite overwhelmed! ‘

And there really was an amazing selection to choose from – the full list is to be found on the awards site here but here were just a few of the highlights that I picked out for the press release:

• Dell’Ugo fresh gluten-free Chickpea Fusilli (the first pulse-based pasta we have met)

• La Zaragozana Ambar Green no-alcohol gluten-free beer  (the first no-alcohol gluten-free beer)

• Eskal Edible gluten-free Ice Cream Party Tubs

• Good Wine Online Sulphite-free wines  (one of the few sulphite-free wines – a growing area)

• Vivesoy Cappuccino/Soy Milk    (an interesting thing to do with soya milk)

• Raw Ecstasy Activated Walnuts – dairy-free, gluten-free raw chocolate

• Eat Water gluten, dairy and calorie free Slim Pasta – Spaghetti     (amazing product made from a plant fibre)

• Freedom Deli gluten-free Tuna Melt Panini  (first gluten free panini we have met)

• Sweetcheeks gluten and dairy-free Pistachio & Lemon Zest Loaf

• Afia’s Gluten-free Spicy Mix Vegetable Samosa    (first gluten-free samosa we have met)

• Cornito Sea Waves gluten-free corn and potato pasta    (unusual and pretty shape and unusual ingredient combination)

• Clearspring Sweet Grains Dessert Amazake   (very classic Japanese dessert product – just rice….. but massively free from and healthy)

And now we are on to organising the party which will take place on the 16th April with our patron,  Antony Worrall Thompson, presenting the prizes as usual. We already have prospective guests queuing at the door (well, queuing for tickets anyhow) so we anticipate a good turnout!! More anon….

Meanwhile, if you would like to know more about our new Childrens’ food category – read Christine Bailey’s account of the kids’ judging session (for kids, by kids…) – and if you are interested in how those gluten-free beers are coming along, check out Sue Cane’s report on the beer judging session.

    How is Diane Palmer doing? My story regarding salicylate intolerance is similar to hers. If anyone would like to see my research please contact me. I love to do what I can to help.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
