FreeFrom Food Awards 2020

29/04/2020 by Ruth Holroyd Leave a Comment

This year’s FreeFrom Food Awards happened online with Zoom networking and afterparty and #FFFA20 trending on Twitter at number #29.

Here’s the low down…

Asda wins FreeFrom Product of the Year at virtual FreeFrom Food Awards presentation.

At the first ever virtual presentation of the FreeFrom Food Awards, Asda was awarded the Product of Year for their Plant Based Sweet Potato Falafel Burgers.

‘This is the way forward for freefrom’ the judges said.  ‘An excellent, naturally top 14 free ‘cool and on message’ product. Great ingredients, nutritional profile and fibre levels. Lovely, moist, full of flavour, really hearty, and fantastic range of vegetables.’

This was the first time that a supermarket has won ‘Marble Mo’, the treasured FreeFrom Food Awards trophy and marked a significantly greater engagement in the freefrom sector by the major retailers. As awards founder, Michelle Berriedale-Johnson said:

‘A vibrant independent sector is crucial to drive innovation in freefrom. But, the last month has shown us that we really are a nation of supermarket shoppers and if we want to get freefrom foods to the greatest number of people, we have to do it through the supermarkets.’

Asda were among over 40 gold award winners this year which included the Venice Bakery, BoojaBooja, Kirsty’s, BFree, Just Love Food Company and Moo Free along with seven of the major retailers.

Tesco once again won Retailer of the Year and the FreeFrom Heroes for 2020 were the Ednan-Laperouse family and Natasha’s Allergy Research Foundation for their tireless campaigning on behalf of those with serious food allergies.

For the full list of winners check in to the awards website here.

That Zoom networking party

There were about 80 of us on Zoom at one point

This worked really well, we all got put into little networking groups so we could have a proper chat and it really got me excited about the awards. It was also lovely to meet new people and catch up with so many judges, bloggers and old friends.

Check out the new logo for next year! Loving it

Thanks to the FreeFrom Food Awards team, Cressida, Michelle, Alex and Sue and everyone who worked hard to make this year’s awards so amazing.

I have to admit, it as nice not to have to get the tube home.

Apologies for the briefness of this blog. I will post my favourites when my skin feels better. Right now I’m not in a good skin place.

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Ruth

 

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
