Tesco retain their crown as category winners of the ‘Range of the Year’ award in the 2024 Free From Christmas Awards.
Retaining this coveted awards title, COO Nicki Clowes commented: “Retaining the ‘Range of the Year’ crown, with their rather impressive FFCA24 medal haul, has been awarded for the fourth consecutive year to Tesco.
“Their comprehensive range of entries demonstrated just how much consideration is given to free from when developing products across their extensive portfolio, whilst their bespoke free from range impressed judges with products such as their new Mint Thins and the return of their Honeycomb Bauble.”
The Free From Christmas Awards champion Christmas or seasonally relevant free from food and drink products and are part of the annual Free From Food Awards, with free from companies large and small returning to compete in the Free From Christmas Awards 2024. Free From Award judges include chefs, developers, manufacturers, health professionals, bloggers and influencers, many of whom are coeliac or managing complex food allergies.
