.
Free-from foods are foods which do not include one or more of the foods (wheat, gluten, dairy products, eggs, yeast, soya, sugar etc) associated with many of the chronic health problems that plague the 21st century: allergies, eczema, asthma, IBS, ME and CFS, depression and mood swings and behavioural problems in children. Even though awareness of food sensitivities is still limited within the medical profession, food manufacturers have been a great deal more proactive and, over the last five years, the 'free-from foods' market has expanded dramatically, growing by over 300% according to market analysts, Mintel. As the only magazine covering this area, Foods Matter felt that it was time to celebrate this growth - hence the Foods Matter FreeFrom Food Awards. The first ever Foods Matter FreeFrom Food Awards were presented before a packed audience of free-from manufacturers and press during Allergy Week 2008 by Antony Worrall Thompson at his Notting Grill restaurant in west London.
