Alex, our Suma buyer who looks after bakery, cereals and snack products says:
“We’ve got a wide range of gluten-free products, including all the best sellers. Doves Farm’s free-from flours are incredibly popular, while Engevita flakes (known fondly as ‘nooch’) are becoming a must-have for gluten-free and vegan diets. Products like Lizi’s gluten-free granola and the range of Nakd bars, for example, are stand-out products that have everything a gluten version has – and more.”
“We’re seeing the quality of free-from products improving across the board, with the standard of baking products, ingredients and cereals all increased. Probably the biggest change has been in snacks, where a mix of innovation, demand for healthier snacks and parents wanting gluten-free options for their kids has meant there’s a really wide range to choose from.”

Sales in this area have never been bigger with many non-coeliacs reporting a range of health benefits after adopting a gluten-free diet. Many basic foods are naturally gluten-free. Foods which require substituting with a gluten-free alternative include bread, pasta, cereals, biscuits, cakes, pies and sauces.
