Since then, the amount of food available from farms inspected and approved to RSPCA welfare standards has increased dramatically. We cannot say that high welfare farming – to RSPCA welfare standards – is the norm, but things are steadily moving in the right direction. These days, most food retailers sell some Freedom Food labelled products. It might just be eggs from your corner shop, beef and lamb from a farm shop or chicken from one of the big supermarkets. But if you hunt for the Freedom Food logo, you should be able to find it – and if you can’t, ask for it! The Freedom Food logo on a pack or counter ticket is only found on meat, poultry, eggs, milk or salmon from animals looked after at each stage of their lives to RSPCA welfare standards. Some producers may claim to be high welfare, but if it is not carrying the logo, it hasn’t been reared on farms inspected to RSPCA welfare standards and subject to our rigorous traceability and audit system. About Freedom Food When you buy the high welfare ingredients to make the recipes in this book, you will be directly helping to improve farm animal welfare.

    Freefrom Food Awards 2010, The Shortlist... Submitted by: Minx PR Monday, 8 March 2010 From sheep’s milk ice cream, gluten-free syrup sponge and free-from fusilli with amaranth to gluten-free fish fingers washed down with a gluten-free glass of beer, nearly 200 freefrom products have made it onto a very long ‘shortlist’ for the FreeFrom Food Awards 2010 – some indication of the spectacular growth seen in this sector of the food industry in recent years. The freefrom food market has positively exploded over the last few years with predicted sales in the UK reaching £360 million by 2012 (Mintel), and $2.6 billion worldwide (Packaged Facts). The FreeFrom Food Awards are the only industry awards that celebrate excellence in this field. Now in their third extremely successful year, the 2010 awards have attracted over 1,000 freefrom entries from every type of supplier from one man/woman bakers to multinational food manufacturers. The awards were started by www.foodsmatter.com, a massive website and information source which logs over half a million hits on its 3,000 plus pages every month and includes the only dedicated site covering all aspects of freefrom food. Says Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, editor of www.foodsmatter.com: “The response to the launch of the awards has just been fantastic and mirrors the expansion in the whole market. Whereas in year one (2008) we had maybe 30 entries for the bread or the cake section, in year two (2009) we had 60 – this year (2010) we have had over 100! “We are particularly excited about this year’s shortlist as it includes such an excellent spread of products really illustrating how the freefrom market has grown and how suppliers and manufacturers are rising to the challenge to cover all areas of 'freefrom need’.

'A hugely useful store cupboard product and the flour of choice for many of the UK's gluten-free bakers.' Sponsored by Juvela, the awards took place last night (Wednesday 6th April) at Kew Bridge Steam Museum where nearly 200 freefrom food manufacturers and food and health writers tested out gluten-free beers amongst the museum's massive purring engines while celebrity chef and freefrom-manufacturer, Antony Worrall Thompson presented the awards. Founder of the Freefrom Food Awards Michelle Berriedale Johnson said, 'Ask any freefrom' cook what is the most useful ingredient in their kitchen and they will say, reliable gluten-free flour. Ask them which flour they use and the chances are that it will be Doves Farm. So it is fantastic to see one of Doves Farm’s most successful flours get the recognition that they all deserve.’ Antony Worrall Thompson said, “I’m delighted for Doves Farm. Every cook needs to rely upon high quality ingredients to produce great results. Doves Farm seems to have got it right across so much of its range, and I hope that many more people will get creative and swap wheat and gluten free flour into their cooking either through dietary need or as part of following a healthy lifestyle.” Close contenders for the FAIR Trophy (a fine marble bust by sculptor Tom
