Feel Free For Gluten Free's Donuts Are Award-Winning!
The UK's first
frozen gluten and wheat free donuts have picked up an award in the prestigious
Free From Food Awards 2015.
Free From food
brand Feel Free For Gluten Free celebrated their success at the awards ceremony
in London last night.
The sugared
ring donuts made the shortlist in the 'tea time' category, competing with
products from larger free from brands and supermarkets. Feel Free For Gluten
Free's delicious donuts were declared joint winners in the category.
Sally Allister,
Managing Director of Feel Free For Gluten Free who has coeliac disease and must
follow a gluten free diet herself, said:
“I'm still
waiting for the news to sink it – it's beyond amazing for our small company!
“The Free From
Food Awards are the Oscars of the free from world and recognise the very best
in foods made for people with restricted diets. To have two products on the
shortlist of 270 products was great for us, but for our donuts to win –
particularly in a category that also included some huge national and
international brands – is nothing short of fantastic.
“Our donut
launch last September was without doubt a highlight of 2014 for our company. Our
customers' reaction to them was genuinely overwhelming. To now receive an award
for our donuts is definitely going to be among our 2015 highlights.”
Former chef
Sally spent 15 months perfecting her gluten and wheat free donut recipe, which
uses potato and rice starch. The result is a light and moist donut that many
coeliacs and gluten-avoiders – for whom donuts aren't readily available – have
compared to 'real' gluten-containing donuts.
The Free From
Food Awards judging panel commented on how hard it is to find a gluten free
donut and added that they have a “great texture” and are “delicious warm”.
Selby-based
Feel Free For Gluten Free sell their sugared ring donuts in packs of four
individually wrapped donuts – great for households with only one coeliac. The
donuts are sold frozen and can be kept in the freezer for up to six months.
They're
currently only available to order online through the Feel Free For Gluten Free
website at www.feelfreefoods.co.uk/our-products. Feel Free
For Gluten Free are working on securing a retail listing for them.
Feel Free For
Gluten Free also supply their donuts to food service customers, giving them an
alternative gluten free sweet treat to the ubiquitous chocolate brownie. The
donuts are sold in packs of 12 individually wrapped donuts, which are easy to
thaw and refresh and can be kept frozen for up to six months.
All of Feel
Free For Gluten Free's products are free from gluten and wheat. Many are also
free from other common food allergens including eggs, dairy and soya. Feel Free
For Gluten Free's product range is wide and varied, with frozen ready meals,
desserts, breaded fish and Indian snacks, a range of baking mixes, plus oat
