'First' for gluten-free tortellini

05-Dec-2011

Sainsbury is continuing to expand its free-from frozen offering with the launch of what it says is the first gluten- and wheat-free tortellini ready meal from DS-gluten free.

Designed to meet demand for quick and convenient meal solutions, the new frozen ready meal is packaged in single serve portions, has a 12-month frozen shelf-life and is microwaveable.

The flavour is preserved through gentle quick-freezing as soon as the product is made to ensure it stays fresh and tasty. There are no hydrogenated fats in the tortellini ready meal and it meets 2012 Food Standards Agency salt guidelines.

Emma Herring, retail brand manager at Dr. Schär UK, the company responsible for the DS-gluten free brand, said: "We're proud to be sector leaders and will continue to drive market growth by representing true, proactive innovation that meets real consumer needs. And with Allergy UK citing that more than 45% of people in the UK have a food allergy or intolerance, we're confident that this latest product will be well received."
