Special Categories
* The Free From Achievement Award
Brands may enter this additional Special Achievement Award with any product submitted in any of the categories 1–4 above. The Award celebrates products with particularly strong free from or ‘hypoallergenic’ qualities — which are perhaps very low in or free from preservatives, food allergens and fragrances — or which meet a particular lifestyle, home-care or wellbeing need for highly sensitive or allergic consumers, or those who have to avoid multiple ingredients.
