The Memcom awards celebrate the positive impact that charities and non-profit organisations have on the public.
The Gluten Free Food Checker app provides access to a database of over 100,000 products. It lists all the products that carry the Coeliac UK Crossed Grain symbol for those who need to follow a gluten free diet.
Hilary Croft, Coeliac UK chief executive, said: “Making life easier for those living gluten free is at the heart of what we do and it is wonderful to have one of our flagship services recognised with a Memcom award, which acknowledges the emphasis on user journey and our continued improvements to deliver more functionality and tailored content for a better user experience.”
The charity provides support and resources for people living gluten free while also campaigning for improvements to the gluten free sector and funding vital research into coeliac disease.
One in every one hundred people in the UK has coeliac disease but around half a million people in the UK are currently undiagnosed. It still takes 13 years on average for a person to be diagnosed.
