ALDI is thrilled to have received top honours at this year’s FreeFrom awards yet again this year, being named as ‘Retailer of the Year’ for the second year running!
The FreeFrom Food awards took place on November 3rd, where ALDI was recognised for its exceptional range of products scooping a total of 44 awards across 21 categories, including, 13 Gold Awards, 7 Silver Awards, 17 Bronze Awards and 6 Merits.
Now in its eighth year, the FreeFrom Food Awards continues to champion the quality and innovation of Irish FreeFrom food producers who provide excellent alternatives to those with special dietary requirements for their consumers. The categories are judged blind by a panel of industry experts, including food bloggers, food writers, and consumers of FreeFrom products. The judging panel make their evaluation based on quality, flavour, aroma, texture, ingredients, price and most importantly – FreeFrom declarations, without prior knowledge of the names of producers and manufacturers.
Speaking about ALDI’s success at this year’s awards, John Curtin, Group Buying Director for ALDI Ireland said: “We are thrilled to have retained Retailer of the year once again this year! At ALDI, we are committed to providing affordable, and most importantly high quality tasty options for customers with additional dietary needs. A huge congratulations to our wonderful network of suppliers who continue to support us as we further extend our range in line with consumer appetite!”
