Top UK vegan and free from chocolate brand, NOMO, has announced it has won four major accolades at the Free From Food Awards including being named the Large Independent Brand of the Year 2023.

The Free From Food Awards (FFFAs) are the UK’s foremost recognition for free from food and drink products. The annual event (held earlier this month) has celebrated excellence in the industry since 2008. Its panel of specialist judges includes major names in the food and allergy worlds. They test thousands of products to determine the winners, with small producers and major supermarkets competing on a level playing field.

FFFA winners gain the right to use its yellow logo that assures both excellent taste and full compliance with free-from-production standards—a trusted mark of safety and quality for consumers.

In addition to being awarded Large Independent Brand of the Year, NOMO received awards for three products introduced in 2023.

Its haul includes:

•       Large Independent Brand of the Year 2023

•       Cookie Dough Block (Gold)

•       Crispy Mo (Gold)

•       Caramelised Biscuit Choc Bar (Silver)

Jac Tyrrell, Brand Manager for NOMO said: “We are thrilled to have received these awards. Our products are developed with rigorous testing and production standards to create the best taste with no compromises made on safety. We’re especially excited to have been named Large Independent Brand of the Year, which demonstrates our position as a leader in the free from industry. At NOMO, we strive to creative innovative and great-tasting products which everyone can enjoy, and we’re delighted to receive this exceptional recognition for our mission.”

All NOMO products are free from egg, gluten, dairy and nuts and the latest recognition follows an exceptionally strong sales period for NOMO, with the brand experiencing 45.6% value growth during the Easter period, compared to the total market’s value growth of 16.7% in the free from chocolate Easter category.
