There are a wide range of food intolerances that people may be susceptible to such as allergies to nuts, gluten, eggs and milk. As a service to our customers we are publishing information to help you answer some of their questions.

Diabetes

People who suffer from diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin they do produce does not work properly and as a consequence the amount of sugar in the blood becomes too high.

A healthy balanced diet is key for people who suffer with this condition. As caterers no foods need to be completely excluded or restricted, rather menus should be created that are lower in fat and sugar and rich in fruit and vegetables to make it easier for people to follow a healthy diet when they eat outside of the home.

Coeliac

Much of the information in the rest of this section of our website focuses on Coeliac Disease (gluten intolerance) since this perhaps one of the least well understood.

Unfortunately it is not possible for Castell Howell Foods to produce a list of foods which we sell that are suitable for coeliacs since the majority of the foods delivered to customers are from other suppliers, and Castell Howell Foods therefore does not have any control over possible changes to their recipes.

However, the educational information and practical advice available via the pages listed on the right is invaluable.
