Freedom Deli, one of the UK's most exciting and fastest growing free-from food producers, is celebrating a further accolade for its range of chilled and frozen gluten-free and wheat-free ready meals, pastries and filled paninis, following last night's Free From Food Awards 2013 in London, where Freedom Deli received the top award in the Ready Meals category for its Ham and Cheese Gluten-Free Panini.
The winners of this year's FreeFrom Food Awards 2013 were announced this week (Tuesday 16th April) by chef, Antony Worrall Thompson at an Awards evening in London. Overall winner of the FAIR Trophy for Best FreeFrom Food 2013 was a luxury lemon coconut 'ice cream' from Bessant and Drury, with judges commenting on how great it is "to have a product which excludes all of the major allergens yet both looks and tastes like a fully fledged, upmarket, luxury food". Other winning products included a fresh chickpea pasta from Dell'Ugo, gluten-free panini from Freedom Deli, a gluten and dairy-free hot chocolate fudge pudding from Glamourpuds and a nut-free 'peanut butter' from Eskal.

Next time you pick up your make-up brush consider this; many beautifully packaged products in the market place actually contain irritating and even damaging ingredients such as talc, dyes, mineral oil, parabens and even petroleum. Just because something says it is "natural" it does not mean that it is naturally good for you. That's why jane iredale - The Skin Care Makeup® combines up-to-date colours for every complexion or ethnicity in a formulation that offers serious skin-care benefits.
Alongside existing charitable link-ups Green People has found a new ally in its commitment against the use of chemical ingredients in personal care products and has joined forces with the Marine Conservation Society (MCS). To help raise awareness of the work that the MCS do, Green People will donate 30p from the sale of every Adult Scent-Free SPF25 Sun Lotion and Children’s Scent-Free SPF25 Sun Lotion to this worthy cause.
