Coeliac UK, the national charity for people with coeliac disease, is hosting its first gluten-free networking event for food industry professionals from catering, food service, retail and manufacturing industries who wish to benefit from the growing gluten-free market.
Coeliac UK is the expert body on the gluten-free diet, providing independent and evidence based information and support to those with the condition and the sectors that cater for them since 1968.
The daylong event is being held on 14 June at the British Motor Museum, itself the first conference venue to gain gluten-free accreditation from Coeliac UK for its catering, and will allow delegates to not only hear from industry specialists during an afternoon of interactive workshops, but also gain valuable insights from those organisations who already provide gluten-free.
Speakers include the Food Standards Agency, Mintel, Horizons, RSSL, British Motor Museum, PizzaExpress, Hard Rock Cafe´, Marks & Spencer, Unilever, Bells of Lazonby and Nestle´.
In addition, experts from Coeliac UK will provide updates for the industry and details on the gluten-free consultation services and accreditation schemes provided by the charity, which has a unique insight into the needs of those following a gluten-free diet.
