The FreeFrom Skincare Awards is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Love Natural, Love Organic show - the new event from the team behind the hugely successful Allergy + FreeFrom Show, alongside which it will be located in this, its launch year, at the Grand Hall at Olympia from 4th - 6th July 2014. Entry to the Awards closed last week, with a record number of products submitted - over 260, from well over 100 brands.

Based on a farm in South Somerset, Easy Bean, the producers of those fabulously wholesome little pots of food-to-go, has launched a new "bean" inspired, gluten-free crispbread to compliment their range. Company founder Christina Baskerville has added the new Chickpea Crispbread to her pioneering range of one-pot meals, which she launched six years ago.

2013 was a landmark year for young self-funded start up company PERK!ER Foods, with co-founders Ann and Steve spreading word of their gluten-free foods and breakfast cereals far and wide across the UK. And the response from all their #perking fans will certainly go towards taking this same company to new heights for 2014 - and of course, their fabulous PERKIER products might also lend a hand!

If like us, you think being free-from really matters then keep a close eye on this year's Free-From Awards. FreeFromFoodsMatter is a resources site dedicated to food allergy and intolerance - and their yearly awards are essential to everyone who follows a free-from lifestyle.

OLOVES, the on-the-go olive company, are looking a little different for 2014, with a new mix of flavours and re-branded packaging. But inside each packet you will still find the same great low calorie, gluten-free snack that is perfect for popping into a bag or lunch box and eating on the go. For 2014 we are seeing new flavour combinations, with the addition of black olives to the range.
