'Kelkins philosophy of providing wholesome natural foods, makes
healthier choices easier for consumers. Their reader friendly
nutrtional labelling helps people make the healthy choice. My
job as a nutritionist is to understand how the body works and deals
with food. My work with Kelkin is to guide consumers and endeavour
to help them make the right food choices for their health'.

'It is with great pleasure that I recall my connections with Kelkin
Foods since the late 70´s when Ken Kinsella set up the Dublin based
company and also with Bernard Rooney down through the years.
Kelkin was one of the pioneers of the healthy food revolution in
Ireland, they would have been one of the first companies to bring
rice cakes into the gluten free market, which are still a staple food
for many coeliacs. The company has shown a strong commitment
and passion for providing healthier options to consumers and the
popularity and availability of their products reflects this. Kelkin
provides healthy food choices as well as a vast range of
pharmaceutical products suitable for the gluten free diet. They have
been the distributor for the Ultrapharm range of gluten free products
for many years as well as the Kallo and Whole Earth cereals, these
days they have a great range of gluten free dietary products
available under the Kelkin label, featured in the Coeliac Society's
Food List 2008 - Bread Mix, Breads and Pizza Bases, Biscuits,
Gluten Free Porridge & Muesli, Muffins, Rice Cakes in different
varieties, these products are widely available in most supermarkets
and health shops throughout the country, some of the products are
available to coeliacs under the GMS Scheme. I wish Kelkin Foods
every success in the future and thank them most sincerely on
behalf of the Coeliac Society for all the support they have given to
the Society through the years'.
