In Ireland it is estimated that there are 450,000 people who will directly benefit, for medical reasons, from the inclusion of the Crossed Grain symbol as part of your branding. Additionally, there are many more who are choosing to live a gluten free lifestyle who will be cognisant of the significance of the mark.

Having the Cross Grain Symbol on our packaging lets us speak credibly to coeliac sufferers and has helped us become a trusted brand across our markets. As a globally distributed brand, the symbol has made it easy for our international consumers to easily identify that we are a gluten-free brand, without any confusion. The symbol is an integral part of our branding and has enabled us to evolve into the trusted brand that we are today.
