What past entrants have to say

“This was our first experience of food awards and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team for all that you do.   As a tiny start-up we are thrilled to have been involved, nominated and awarded and look forward to entering again next year. Thanks so much for all of your help during the whole process.”

Michele Porter, Foodhak

Entrant, Free From Food Awards 2023

 

“Just wanted to drop you a line to say it was a great event and we really enjoyed being there – thank you to you and the team, I know those things are serious hard work! It was great to meet with other businesses and network with some major players too. We look forward to entering again next year with some of our new products coming to market. Many thanks for a great evening and the recognition. It is very much appreciated.”

Ian Jones, Cherub

“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the awards ceremony last night and for our Gold and Silver awards. We truly didn’t think we would get very far with the level of competition and we are all sooo over-the-moon! The buffet was incredible and extra shout outs for the prawn hors d’oeuvres…..my goodness they were absolutely incredible!! Thanks so much for your help, support and encouragement. On a day to day basis we are so incredibly busy running around that we just don’t have the time to really spend on this side of things and your encouragement really made the biggest difference. Thank you to you and the team.”

“Congratulations on your event. Just great! We have never experienced something like that. You started on time and pulled it off at an Olympic pace. At the same time you and your co-host were extremely entertaining and we were able to learn a lot. Dr. Reich’s family says thank you to you, to your team, and to the judges for this incredible experience. And thank you for letting us be there via zoom. And of course, we are happy to have been awarded in this environment with competitors at this high level.”

Christine Reich, Dr. Reich’s Family GmbH

“We were worried at first when we saw big names showing up in many categories but very happy the judges truly looked at the quality and details rather than how big or how many times the products have been entered.  Thanks for organising such a brilliant event; so many inspiring products that we already recommended to friends or are trying for ourselves. We were even happier walking away with our 1 product winning a silver medal (Yummzy Yumtella). Thank you.”

Joulie Gindi, Yummzy

Melanie, The Chiltern Mix

“Congratulations on a very successful event! I am thrilled the Ovant Royal was chosen as a Gold medallist in the No & Low drinks category. It would be spectacular to share all your feedback on the products with us if you could, as I’d love to share this this with the team and promote this to our supporters.”

Julie Schneider, Ovant Distillations

“Thank you so much we are honestly over the moon. Cant wait to make The 2023 Free From Awards even bigger with you! Thanks for an amazing night, can’t believe we picked up 2 Golds!! We’ll be getting the logo on pack ASAP to start showing it off.”

Julianne Ponan & Matthew Ford, Creative Nature

“I just attended the event and I was really surprised at how incredibly well put together the whole thing was. I expected just a zoom call but the whole thing was amazing! Congratulations on that! I just wanted to thank you and the judges for the two awards. We are ecstatic! Thank you so much for that.”

Antonio Furtado, Viva Cassave

I just wanted to thank you for your Entrant Feedback 2023 of our product.

It’s a very useful tool and I am still referring to it for ideas. So, many thanks!

Nairn’s

The Free From Food Awards are one of the most credible awards on the circuit, and we tend to enter products every year.  Much of our innovation in recent years has been in the gluten free side of our business so it’s a great opportunity for us to showcase some of our new products.  To free from consumers, displaying the winners logo on pack is a sign of quality and safety, and a win certainly adds value to the conversations our sales team have with their buyer contacts when talking about listings.  The awards themselves are really straightforward to enter and very well organised and they’re attracting some great brands, both big and small, to enter which highlights just how far free from foods have come in recent years.

Bute Island

This year (2018) we won Gold at the Free From Food Awards for our Dairy Free Grated Mild Cheddar Sheese. We have submitted products to these awards over the last ten years, and have been proud to win awards for various products. The process of entering the products is clear and straight  forward. The Bute Island team have attended several of the awards ceremonies and found them to be not only enjoyable, but beneficial for the business. It’s always been a pleasure and an honour to be part of the Free From Awards.

ChocChick

We have been entering the FFF Awards since 2010 and have had some incredible networking opportunities, caught up with industry leaders, begun collaborations and even met with senior buyers who listed our products in stores, so to have won Gold this year for our Cacao Nibbles was the icing on the cake. We are incredibly proud to be part of the Free From family.

Mina Said-AllsoppWildcraft Bakery

The networking opportunities at the FFFA18 party have been really amazing – we’ve met people we have been following on instagram and twitter… We met the founder of Genius which is… AMAZING! We are so excited to put the freefrom logo on our website and all our products.

Greg Taylor Managing Director, Retrocorn

Our win opened a door to a national distributor in the UK allowing us to get our popcorn in front of all the big UK contract caterers, winning new business with Baxter Storey, Caterlink and many others!  A fantastic award like this really does get you noticed!  We are delighted with our win and will be entering our Hasta La Vista in next years award 100%

 

Emma HeathNairn’s

For us at Nairn’s, winning gold is as much about internal reward as it is about anything external or consumer facing.  For those involved in developing and trialling the products and bringing them to market, winning any of the FFAs further recognition of a job well done and gives a real sense of pride and achievement to the team.

Sue WarrenStrategic Development Director, Unismack

The FFFA have been at the forefront of driving innovation, awareness and availability of an increasing range in the Free From arena since before it was a trend. The FreeFrom Food awards remain a focus point for the industry and are a great platform for communication and engagement

Julia MarriottDietitian, allergy sufferer and judge at #FFFA

The website gives one place where parents can go and look to see which companies have been shortlisted, who won… it’s a great chance to see the range of products available on the freefrom market that aren’t just in their local supermarkets. Products that have got the FreeFrom Food Awards logo give parents confidence that not only do they taste good, but they have been checked for ingredients and safe manufacturing processes, that sort of thing – it gives them confidence in the products they are choosing.
