Fitz Scientific is pleased to announce that it has received accreditation for a validated gluten determination method, now available at its Drogheda laboratory. This service uses the R5 sandwich enzyme method, allowing for accurate analysis of gluten levels in a wide range of food products.
​
EU Regulation 828/2014 has set out conditions by which food products can be labelled “gluten-free” or “very-low gluten”. The ‘gluten-free’ statement may only be used where a food product as sold contains no more than 20 mg/kg of gluten. The ‘very low gluten’ statement may only be used where a food product as sold contains no more than 100 mg/kg of gluten.

Throughout the last several years, the foodservice industry across the island of Ireland has proven to be resilient, recovering from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic with strong consumer demand and a robust economic backdrop. Moving into 2024, the expectation was that the pent-up demand was largely spent and that growth would return to a more “normal” pre-pandemic trajectory.
​
As shown throughout this report, consumer spending within foodservice has indeed slowed during the course of 2024. Higher menu prices, while showing deceleration from extremes in 2022 and 2023, remain elevated, and consumer visits and footfall have been impacted by these higher prices. Despite this, growth throughout the island of Ireland (including both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) increased 5.2% in value, and overall industry turnover surpassed €9.8 billion.
