The survey also revealed that nearly half of people are more likely to choose a restaurant that offers gluten-free dishes, as well as opt for a gluten-free dish.
Mohammed Essa, Aviko general manager, said: “Coeliac disease is a serious condition and sufferers should be able to enjoy eating quality gluten-free dishes out-of-home, which is why we’re commending Coeliac UK for shining a light on menus.
“Our Gluten Free Heroes campaign is about just this, supporting the industry in becoming coeliac friendly and inspiring caterers with recipes, top tips, facts, hints and product information to boost menus.”
Aviko is donating £5 to Coeliac UK for every download of its Top Tips for Gluten Free Out of Home guide from its website in support of Coeliac Awareness Week (May 8th -14th).
