If you suffer from a food allergy or intolerance, our ‘Free From' range could make your life easier and healthier!
We know how frustrating living with a food allergy or intolerance can be.
Finding the right foods can be difficult, understanding food packaging labels can often be a nightmare and the foods that are available can sometimes be tasteless.
That's why we've launched our fantastic 'Free From' range - specially developed foods which are gluten, wheat, dairy or nut free, designed to make your life easier and healthier!
What is food allergy or intolerance?
A food allergy is when the body's immune system reacts to a particular food. Those reactions can be life threatening.
‘Intolerance' happens when unpleasant symptoms occur after eating a substance which your body can't handle.
To manage symptoms, people with intolerances need to avoid certain foods. People with an allergy need to avoid all forms of that food, even tiny amounts. In both cases, these people often have quite a limited diet.
How will I know it's ‘Free From'?
We've aimed to make the ASDA ‘Free From' range as clear and helpful for you as possible. All the products are labelled on the front of pack to help you easily identify that the food is ‘safe' for you.
The range is easy to find in store by being located together and clearly signposted with its own distinct and recognisable signage.
With our fantastic range available in your local ASDA store and online, we're sure you'll be able to find some great meal ideas to suit your family's needs.
The range has over 100 products, including pasta, bread, pizza, ready meals, cakes and snacks, so you don't have to give up great food because of an allergy or intolerance.
