Rosie & Jim have sponsored the Meat Products Category in the Coeliac Society of Ireland Food List 2021!

Check out our full list of Gluten Free Products on page 142 of this invaluable guide.

Coeliac Society of Ireland Food List 2021

Each year the Coeliac Society produces a “List of Gluten-Free Manufactured Products”, also referred to as the “Food List”.

The Food List is compiled in accordance with current EC legislation. The booklet also features “own brand” products that are “gluten-free” from some of the main supermarket chains. If you are a coeliac and eat any processed foods, a current Food List is a valuable resource in selecting food.

Many people are confused by allergen labelling and the more recent EC Gluten-free Labelling Legislation. Members are turning to the Food List for reassurance about what is safe to eat.

Congratulations again to Fiona Staunton and her nominated charity Aoibheann's Pink Tie on winning €1000 donation from Rosie & Jim.

Here's Tracey delivering the HUGE cheque!

Aoibheann's Pink Tie

Aoibheann’s Pink Tie “National Children’s Cancer Charity” was set up in 2010 by Mick Rochford and Jimmy Norman after the tragic loss of Jimmy’s daughter Aoibheann to cancer aged just 8 years. During Aoibheann’s year long battle with this dreadful disease, the family found little or no financial or practical support  for children and their families.

Jimmy and his family had a large support network of friends and family but found that many on the ward had virtually no support at all.

When Aoibheann passed away the men wore pink ties at the funeral which was Aoibheann’s favourite colour. The charity was formed in her memory to remedy the lack of support for other children and their families going through treatment.

Thanks so much to the lovely person who sent us this message who preferred to remain anon.

"As a coeliac, I've found your products to be somewhat life changing in terms of diet and what can be physically eaten readily. This may go unnoticed but I’ll say it anyway, thank you to your entire company for their hard work in developing a gluten free range and continuing to release new products."

We just want to say thanks right back to you.

It means a lot to us to know our products have been a positive in your life.

Awww look at our Andrew - the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind tell us he is settling in to life in Mayo as a guide dog.
Go Andrew - what an important job you have!

Rosie & Jim are thrilled and humbled to sponsor Make A Wish Ireland in making Eimear's wish of having a Safety Sleeper come true.

Eimear's mum Fiona, sent in a lovely letter explaining how much this would improve Eimear's life.

We are so grateful as a family to get the safety sleeper gifted to Eimear as it especially changes holidays for us as family. Since getting the safety sleeper we can now like any other family decide to go on holidays, and we have gone during the summer and just last weekend, and Eimear has slept and enjoyed the holidays as much. As life can be very busy for us and challenging at times it is great for us and especially Eimear and her siblings to get away for a break. Now that we have the safety sleeper it gives us a new peace of mind and the option of a holiday.

Angelman Syndrome means that Eimear has severe complex needs, including sleep disturbances, sensory processing disorder, epilepsy, non verbal, short attention, no sense of danger/lack of sense of security. So for safety reasons she requires an enclosed bed.

Thanks for the lovely letter Fiona, Dermot, Alannah, Eimear and Jason.

We wish you many happy night's sleep in the new Safety Sleeper Eimear and hope you get to try it out on holiday soon :)
