Baker Warburtons is bolstering its presence in the gluten free sector with the launch of new gluten free sandwich thins under its Newburn Bakehouse brand.
The gluten free White and Seeded Sandwich Thins have been launched following “growing demand from free-from consumers and an increase in popularity of sandwich alternatives”. According to research from Mintel, demand for free from products continues to grow with 13% of the population eating gluten free in 2013 compared to only 8% in 2012.
