Founded by a classically-trained chef and a health coach, the founders joined forces to satisfy their need for healthy and tasty foods that they were struggling to find themselves. They proved that gluten-free and healthy doesn’t have to mean tasteless, and tasty doesn’t have to mean unhealthy. Together, Susan and Anne combined their knowledge and formed The Whole Kitchen. You’ll enjoy much of Susan’s food; she’s worked worldwide and is inspired by whole food ingredients and various flavor combinations.

A bunch of health-conscious friends started GlutenfreeSG because they were struggling to find a good range of gluten-free products in Singapore. Each of the founders was on a strict gluten-free diet. They were finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the diet successfully, so, inspired by their struggles, they founded GlutenfreeSG, an intelligent platform so that customers can quickly and easily find the products that they desire. The easy-to-navigate website takes you to all the essentials (and goodies) for your family's cooking, baking, and pantry essentials. They also have products that complement other dietary needs, such as halal, high-fiber, or yeast-free. They have some delicious recipes on their website too. If you spend S$50, delivery is free.

The story behind Ryan’s Grocery is a relatively simple one; Sebastian and Wendy Chia learned that their son was intolerant to dairy products, gluten, nuts, soy, egg, and yeast. They embarked on a journey to source food for him which proved to be nigh on impossible. They founded their boutique grocery and butcher in 2015. The two stores stock the highest quality products that cater to a range of diets, including paleo, raw, low sugar, and gluten-free. Their online store is intelligently designed and has filters to make your shopping experience easy. There is even a carbon-neutral section for those keen to make informed decisions about their food.

The Gluten-Free Store was born out of the founders' desire to source healthy food for their son, who is intolerant to dairy, gluten, nuts, soy, eggs, and yeast.

They wanted to share their well-researched and curated products with other diet-restricted individuals in Singapore.
