UK’S FIRST LOW FODMAP FOOD & DRINK BUSINESS
UK’S FIRST LOW FODMAP FOOD & DRINK BUSINESS
Hello! I’m Lauren, I started Fodilicious an award-winning health food business based in Scotland to produce the UK’s first low FODMAP snacks certified to help others like me. 1 in 5 of us in the UK have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I was really frustrated at the lack of convenience foods available for IBS and for those of us that require to follow a low FODMAP diet.
Juggling a hectic lifestyle, after leaving university working long hours in the hospitality industry. I constantly prepared my own food, homemade snacks for work as I couldn’t find any off the shelf snack solutions. Many gluten free and vegan options contain low quality ingredients and not suitable IBS. Full of sugar, nasty additives, preservatives and artificial colours and flavours. So I let my full-time job and set out on a mission to help others like me to create a range of low FODMAP foods certified for IBS, gut friendly health foods, made pure natural, clean label, ingredients which also cater for wide range of ‘free from’ diets and in 2018 – Fodilicious was born!
We are proud to have won business awards, featured in media and news articles and catered for HM the Queen at the Royal Garden Party.
In 2018, Fodilicious was born. Fodilicious started off as a catering business. Offering low FODMAP, gluten free, dairy free, vegan meals, sandwiches and cakes! We delivered all across the UK and locally with our refrigerated delivery van for catering events.
We were extremely honoured and proud to have been given the opportunity to cater for special dietary requirements for her late majesty Queen Elizabeth II and The Royal Garden Party at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, Scotland which was a great honour and a memorable experience.
We then set out to get some funding to diversify our product range, and entered lots of start up competitions across Scotland. We were so successful, and pitched our products to lots of judges across numerous panels – we won Scottish EDGE as the highest ever award-winning food brand, a fellowship at the Royal Society of Edinburgh issued by the Scottish Government, and have been supported by Santander Universities too!
In Summer 2019, our first snack range launched and our business changed! Fodilicious Cookie Buttons Cocoa Crunch launched as the UK’s first low FODMAP snacks certified for IBS and gut health. Suitable for a wide range of ‘free from’ diets in one product: gluten free, vegan, dairy free, nut free, soya free and allergy friendly. Made with high quality all natural ingredients, no refined sugars, low calorie with no compromise on taste!
Fodilicious Cookie Buttons Ginger Crunch launched to add to our delicious range of Cookie Buttons! We listened to our customers and as there is such a lack of healthy all natural ginger cookies free from gluten, dairy, nuts, refined sugars, we decided to produce Ginger Crunch Cookie Buttons! Made with 100% pure natural high quality ingredients, ‘free from’, allergy friendly and low FODMAP too!
We are excited to expand the sales and distribution of Fodilicious Cookie Buttons. Visit our Shop to purchase and we’ll deliver FREE direct to your door anywhere in the UK! We now deliver to Ireland too! Check out our stockists page too!

In March 2020, exhibited at our first Allergy & Free From Show in Glasgow 2020. We sold out of our delicious Cookie Buttons due to high demand! We love our customers.
In April 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted Fodilicious. Not only did this negatively affect our supply chain from a supply perspective, but also from a customer perspective where our snacks where stocked across hotels, cafes, delis and hospitality outlets across the UK. Despite the negative impact COVID had, we successfully pivoted our business, focusing more on online retail, at Fodilicious.com and Amazon too! Delivering snacks straight to your door.
During the last 6 months and bouncing back from the COVID-19 aftermath, we made some huge changes to our business. We scaled up our manufacturing production, worked hard on our recipes, and aimed to source “green” packaging. In July 2021, we successfully re-launched our Cookie Buttons snack range along with our NEW Coconut Crunch flavour in 100% recyclable packaging – we’re one of the first UK snack food businesses to achieve this! We also increased our pack size to 30g across the full range which is now all low FODMAP certified (for the whole pack!) for all stages of the low FODMAP diet (Be Kind to your Gut!) and we worked hard to make our products allergen free – so everyone can enjoy regardless of your diet!
