Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, comments: “Christmas is a special time of year, but we know it can feel like a real challenge if you need to stick to a gluten free diet – or cater for someone following one. We want to make it as easy as possible for shoppers to enjoy the usual Christmas treats without having to compromise, which is why we have an extended range, all handily marked with a gluten free symbol on packs in store.”
