ASDA Free From range
- Making Things Clear and Easy

Living with a food allergy or intolerance is not easy. Finding the 'right' foods can be difficult, understanding food packaging labels can often be a nightmare and the foods that are available can be tasteless.

At ASDA, we appreciate how frustrating this can be. To make you and your family's lives much easier, we have introduced a range of specially developed foods which are gluten, wheat free and or milk free - as part of ASDA's 'Free From' Range.

The range consists of over 100 tasty alternatives to 'normal' food, ranging from pasta, bread, pizza, ready meals, cakes and snacks.

The ASDA Free From range is clear and helpful
All the products are labelled on the front of the 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 it's own distinct and recognisable signs.



You will find the Free From sections within Grocery, Frozen foods and in the Chilled cabinets

We also have lots of helpful information in store to simplify your shopping trip.

"Customers want more help from supermarkets whilst shopping in store in terms of information and guidance. We therefore have asked our colleagues who themselves suffer from food allergy or intolerance to help out. In each store, a number of colleagues have volunteered to be an 'allergy advisor' - who are trained to offer basic advice on suitable products and where to find them. Just ask at Customer Services"
Janine Warnes - ASDA Brand Marketing Manager
