When Michelle Berriedale-Johnson’s young son had difficulty digesting dairy, she found there was very little information available to help parents in her position. This led her to create a magazine where parents like her could find information and support.

Now, more than 20 years on, the magazine has given way to a highly successful website that offers information on everything from recipes to skin care – all catering towards those with intolerances.

The FreeFrom Food Awards has grown out of Foods Matter’s long association with free-from foods in an attempt to help raise their profile and thank the manufacturers for providing products that so many people depend on.

Lactofree is dedicated to raising awareness of lactose intolerance and showing people that they don’t have to live without dairy unnecessarily. It was a natural move to join forces with the FreeFrom Food Awards – we are very proud to be sponsoring a brand new award for 2011! This new award honours free-from foods that are manufactured specifically for food service. We know how tough it is to maintain a lactose free diet while out and about and would like to applaud all institutions and manufacturers that try and accommodate those with a food intolerance.

Take a look at our Restaurant Guide to see which establishments in your area cater for those with lactose intolerance.

We’ll see you at the FreeFrom Food Awards in 2011!
