Goodness Grains’ new 20,000 sq ft bakery is a purpose built, dedicated Gluten Free facility, one of the largest gluten free bakeries in Ireland and UK.  

The new facility has on site blast freezing capabilities and as part of its current expansion phase, has implemented a full traceability system.
