Good its Gluten Free has signed an exclusive partnership with QuornPro Distribution Partners to make their products available to foodservice for the first time. The roll out starts with an allergen free margherita pizza, co-developed by Good it’s Gluten Free and QuornPro’s culinary team specifically for schools.

Phil Thornborrow, QuornPro director of global foodservice, said: “Good its Gluten Free is the perfect first partner. We’re creating purpose driven partnerships with companies who share our ambitions to deliver either nutritional benefits, carbon reductions or have a strong social purpose.

“We’ve focussed on our heartland in schools with the first partnership where we have become the go-to alternative protein experts. The pizza we have developed together ticks all of the boxes for school caterers and most importantly kids will love it.

“QuornPro Distribution Partners creates a network that is mutually beneficial for everyone involved. Brands benefit from our foodservice expertise and access to a market that can be tricky to get cut through in, we get to provide our customers with even more meal solutions, and our customers benefit by being able to deal with one point of contact to meet multiple requirements.”

Over 20% of children are affected by food allergies with 20% of severe allergic reactions to food happening whilst a child is at school. The margherita pizza will be available from October 2024 and comes with a range of benefits, including:

• Allergen free
• HFSS compliant
• Cooks from frozen in 6 minutes
• Between 13% to 47% less salt than the competition
• High in fibre
• One of your five a day
