Manufacturers
The information in this section provides guidance for the production of gluten-free food over and above normal food safety.

Caterers
Here we provide a thorough guide for all food providers: cafés, restaurants, take-aways, office canteens, hospitals, schools, care-homes and other establishments for providing food for coeliacs.
Find out about what foods are naturally gluten-free, foods which are unsuitable for coeliacs and cross-contamination and our tips for fish and chip shops.
Remember: the coeliac customer often has the deciding vote in choosing the restaurant for family occasions and special gatherings, so you will be receiving business from a large group if you can cater well for the gluten-free diet.
