Free From Food Expo and Free From Food Ingredients Expo

Free From Food Expo & Free From Food Ingredients Expo will take place on 3 - 4 June 2014 at the Exhibition and Conference Centre Brussels in Belgium. Free From Food Expo 2014 is Europe’s most focussed trade show for, and initiated by, the ‘free from’ industry. It’s a key trading platform where decision makers come to source new products, meet new and existing suppliers and keep up-to-date with trends and innovations in the fast growing ‘free from food & beverage’ industry.

This two day exhibition and conference will see more than 2,000 buyers and specifiers from small and large retail and food service sectors as well as bio, health, convenience stores and catering companies and nearly 150 exhibitors from across Europe including ‘free from’ food (and ‘free from’ ingredients) manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and traders. Visitors will have an opportunity to attend 25 seminars covering a wide range of topics such as Product Development from Consumer Perspective, Gluten Free Market in Five Years’ Time, Labels & Certifications, Free From Food Market From the Retail Perspective and Importing & Exporting Trends. Free From Food 2014 is supported by the Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS), an independent, non-profit organisation aiming to raise awareness of coeliac disease and to promote research into the diagnosis and management of this illness. 
 
This year, to recognise the growing importance of ‘free from’ food and ingredients, the organisers are also launching the Free From Food Ingredients 2014 Expo. Ronald Holman, Exhibition and Sales Director says: “Free from food solutions are becoming more and more important for the R&D departments and food technologists working with food manufacturers. Retailers and consumers simply demand higher standards, better taste, quality and healthier alternatives. Free From Food Ingredients 2014 will provide the most dedicated platform with exhibitors like Döhler GmbH, Solanic (AVEBE), Meurens Natural, Ernst Böcker, Erbacher etc.” Free from food categories cover all food and beverage products which are gluten free, lactose free, dairy free, yeast free, wheat free, egg free, GM free, sugar & fat free and vegan. More information is available from www.freefromfoodexpo.com and www.freefromfoodingredients.com
