Roleys's teff and corn based gluten-free bread mix carried off the winner's trophy this month at first ever Free-from Food Awards, organised by Foods Matter, the UK's only magazine for food allergy, intolerance and sensitivity sufferers.

A packed gathering heard Foods Matter Editor, Michelle Berridale-Johnson, explain why Foods Matter had decided to launch the awards and the criteria on which they had judged the very wide variety of entries.

Other winners included Oatly's oat based, dairy, gluten, wheat, egg, soya and nut free 'pouring' cream, Swedish Glacé's creamy chocolate based soya 'ice cream', Mrs Crimbles gluten and wheat free chocolate macaroons, a Swedish gluten-free pizza base (Miwell), Delamere Dairies' dairy free mature goat cheese and Gluten-free Kitchen's gluten and wheat-free Coffee and Walnut cake.
