Understand Different Free From Food Labels

Free From labels can tell you more about a product. However, each label refers to something different.

• Lactose-free: Refers to products made without lactose, a natural sugar found in milk.
• Gluten-free: Refers to products that meet the applicable gluten-free requirements.
• Sugar-free: Refers to products that meet the relevant requirements for a sugar-free claim. Check the nutrition label for details.
• GMO-free: Refers to products labelled as not containing genetically modified organisms, according to the applicable claim and product information.
• Keto-friendly: Refers to foods selected for a low-carbohydrate eating plan. Check the carbohydrate content and serving size.

A product labelled lactose-free is not automatically gluten-free or sugar-free. The same applies to other Free From claims.

Explore Lactose Free and Keto & Gluten Free to compare products for different preferences.

One label does not cover every dietary need. Always check the product details.

Build a Free From Grocery Basket

Planning your grocery basket around your food preferences can make shopping easier. Start with the meals you usually prepare and the ingredients you need.

Here are a few ways to plan:

• Breakfast: Look for suitable cereals, spreads or other breakfast products. Check their sugar and ingredient details.
• Quick snacks: Explore products in the Keto & Gluten Free range that fit your preferences.
• Dairy choices: Browse Lactose Free Yogurt for yogurt options without lactose.
• Cooking ingredients: Check labels on sauces, mixes and other packaged foods before adding them to your basket.
• Everyday essentials: Explore Other Free From Food for more options.

Make a list before shopping. This can help you focus on the products you need instead of buying items that may not suit your preferences.

A planned grocery basket makes it easier to keep track of the foods you choose.

What to Check on Free From Product Labels

The front of a pack may highlight a specific claim. The full label gives you more information about the product.

Before buying, check these details:

Ingredients

Read the full list to see what the product contains.

Allergen Information

Look for milk, wheat, nuts and other allergens listed on the pack.

Nutrition Facts

Check sugar, carbohydrates, fat and serving sizes where relevant.

Product Claims

Read the details behind claims such as sugar-free, gluten-free and GMO-free.

Storage Instructions

Check how the product should be stored and whether it needs refrigeration after opening.

Expiry Date

Make sure the product is within its use-by or best-before date.

If you avoid an ingredient due to an allergy or intolerance, do not rely on the front-of-pack claim alone. Check the full allergen statement and contact the manufacturer if you need more information.

Take a moment to read the full label. It can help you make a more informed choice.

Choose Products That Match Your Food Preferences

Not every Free From product serves the same purpose. Before choosing, think about the ingredient or food type you want to avoid.

• Avoiding lactose? Browse Lactose Free and Lactose Free Yogurt.
• Following a keto or gluten-free eating plan? Explore Keto & Gluten Free and check the product's nutrition details.
• Looking for sugar-free options? Browse Sugar Free.
• Looking for products labelled GMO-free? Visit GMO Free.
• Need something else? Explore Other Free From Food.

If you follow more than one food restriction, check every relevant claim and ingredient list. A product may meet one requirement but not another.

Choose products based on what you need to avoid, not just the claims on the front of the pack.
