PRESS RELEASE: Most Gluten-Free Breads Aren’t Allergen-Free. This One Just Won an Award

Well & Good’s Gluten Free Wholemeal Sourdough Loaf has been named a winner in the 2026 Healthy Food Guide Special Diet Awards (Best Gluten Free), standing out in a category where many products still contain dairy or eggs.

Completely free from gluten, dairy and egg, the Melbourne-made loaf was recognised by a panel of independent dietitians for delivering both nutritional quality and the taste and texture consumers expect from sourdough.

Produced by Australian family-owned company Well & Good, the wholemeal loaf is also a good source of dietary fibre, designed to meet the needs of consumers seeking more inclusive, everyday bread options.

“This award reinforces that ‘free from’ doesn’t have to mean compromise,” said Shila Barak, Business Development Manager at Well & Good. “We’ve focused on removing common allergens without sacrificing the eating experience, because consumers expect both.”

The Healthy Food Guide Special Diet Awards recognise products that support Australians with specific dietary needs, with a focus on nutrition, accessibility and real-world appeal.

The award-winning Well & Good Gluten Free Wholemeal Sourdough Loaf (500g) is available through select independent retailers and online at:
