Awarding excellence
in gluten free food.
The Gluten Free Food Awards are the only industry award serving producers and consumers of gluten free foods in Ireland. We taste, test and award the best foods developed to meet the needs of coeliacs, those with gluten intolerance, and those who choose a gluten free lifestyle for health reasons.

Irish shoppers buy gluten free
A decade of celebrating Ireland’s gluten free makers.
For over ten years, we have operated as the FreeFrom Food Awards Ireland, welcoming producers of foods that catered for any one of the fourteen allergens into the awards process. In 2026, we made the decision to reform the awards, becoming the Gluten Free Food Awards.
This September we begin the judging process, culminating in an awards night on the 13th of November in Dublin. Don’t miss out.
