Success for Voakes Free From at the FreeFrom Food Awards!

The FOUR products are:

  • Free From Traditional Pork Pie – Highly Commended
  • Free From Special Pie – Highly Commended
  • Free From Steak Pie – Shortlisted
  • Free From Game Pie – Shortlisted

Voakes Free From is delighted to announce that two of our products were “Highly Commended” and another two were shortlisted in the prestigious FreeFrom Food Awards 2014.

Voakes Free From Special Pie was awarded Highly Commended in the “Foods for Christmas” category. Voakes Free From Steak Pie was judged Highly Commended in the “Meat Based Meals” category.

The freefrom market is now estimated at over £385m and a record number of products – more than 350 were entered into this year’s FreeFrom Food Awards. Each product was tested by a panel of expert judges earlier this year, with the winners announced at the Awards ceremony in London last night.

Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, who launched the awards in 2008, said “The quality, and number, of products entered this year was higher than ever which made judging extremely exciting. The freefrom industry has come a long way since we first launched the awards and that was evident from the choice of innovative and great tasting foods we got to judge this year. We’d like to congratulate Voakes Free From and all the winners and runners up.”

The judging panel comprised: manufacturers, chefs and cookery writers; dietitians and nutritionists; coeliacs and allergy sufferers, as well as freefrom and gluten-free bloggers. Between them, the judges tasted products from 16 categories including a number of new ones for 2014 such as breakfast and after dinner foods.

The FreeFrom Food Awards have been instrumental in driving new product development and improving the quality and choice of freefrom foods that are available, and the products on the list this year highlight this success. Judging was therefore incredibly difficult but at the same time incredibly satisfying too.
