From 3rd of August Lidl are have a gluten free week. Lidl have been behind all the rest of the supermarkets when it comes to gluten free so they really need to up their game and it looks like this may be the start of great things.

Their main competitor, Aldi, already do a lot of gluten free products, most of which is mixed in with regular products so they are hard to spot, unless they have one of their gluten free weeks with extra products in stock. On a normal week you can find all kinds of things in Aldi including the only gluten free whitebait in the freezers.

It looks like Lidl have finally realised they need to up their game in the free from world too and we have seen rumours that this gluten free week is going to be a trial and if successful it could become a permanent feature.

The magazine for Lidl shows the following products are going to be in stock in UK stores for at least a week from the 3rd August

Pork Sausages 6 pack £1.95
Pork Chipolatas 10 pack £1.95
Goodfellas Gluten Free Margherita Pizza £2.49

Thats a pretty decent range we must say, we can't help but notice most of it is sweet products as usual though! Wheres the bread Lidl? Some nice products in there none the less and pretty good prices too.

If the rumours are true this range could become permanent, or some of it at least which would be great, it is something Lidl is really lacking in. We can't wait to go and raid some of the products next week!

Remember these are in from Thursday the 3rd of August, usually for a week but if it's like Aldi they may linger for up to a month. Fingers crossed they are in a while at those prices!

So far it seems to be permanent, but what worries me is that there is no celiac society mark on any of the packets. Which means the line has not been certified as gluten free. I'm not sure if they would be safe to eat for those actually allergic or whether they are legally allowed to advertise the range as 'gluten free' due to ingredients not containing gluten, but due to manufacturing processes the line may still contain gluten. Hence why they do not have the certification. I have emailed repeatedly and they have failed to answer such a simple question: "Can you assure me that your gluten free range is safe to eat by those who are ALLERGIC to gluten due to the lack of certification by the celiac society on the packaging" Anyone else have any info on this? Thanks.

I walked into the newly opened Lidl store in Halstead, Essex and was so disappointed as I couldn't find any gluten free or dairy free products for my son, who is dairy and gluten intolerant. I will have another look again but, couldn't see anything. Lidl need to seriously up their game. Back to Sainsbury's and M and S I go...

most of it is sweet - as per usual. All supermarkets and Gregs need to catch up with M&S in regard to having a gluten free lunch option like a wrap or sandwich. You walk into most and there is a wall of lunch choices for non GF people. In this respect M&S have nailed it. Well done.
