<div style="color:#12509B;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12pt;padding-bottom:20px">All ham used in our sandwiches is now Farm Assured English Gammon Ham from Dingly Dell, a family owned farm in Suffolk.<p>
Dingly Dell is an approved member of the Freedom Food Scheme that has been set up by the RSPCA. This is the only UK farm assurance scheme dedicated to improving farm animal welfare.
The pigs at Dingly Dell are given plenty of straw to lie on and are free to roam outside all year round, ensuring they live a happy, stress-free life.<p>

<div style="color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16pt;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:10px">A Healthier Range</div>
<div style="color:#12509B;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12pt;padding-bottom:20px">Hydrogenated fats, also known as HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oils) are nasty things that can raise cholesterol and are therefore pretty
unhealthy. We have just removed hydrogenated fats from almost all our product lines.<br /><br />HVO can no longer be found in our breads or sandwiches. Flapjacks, shortbreads and other cake bars have also had these fats removed during production,
although due to the long shelf life of these products they might not be be on shop shelves "HVO free" until around christmas.<br /><br />Scones are also now free from Hydrogenated fats, as are muffins
(except caramel fudge at the moment), Easter biscuits and our mince pies that come out nearer the festive period. Danish and Doughnuts will also have hydrogenated fats removed during October.
This means that by October only two items in our entire range will still contain traces of these fats (Tiffin & Caramel Fudge Muffin, which we're working on!).</div>

<div style="color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16pt;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:10px">Best Breads in the West!</div>
<div style="color:#12509B;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12pt;padding-bottom:20px">We've won two more awards for our speciality breads in this year's Taste of the West competition. Our delicious Green Olive & Sunflower
Seed loaf picked up a gold and our Stilton, Red Onion & Rosemary Plait won a silver. Only five other competitors achieved a gold award putting Pullins amongst the top four percent! Products
were assessed on their appearance, texture, aroma, taste and packaging and were judged by an ex regional buyer for supermarket chain Sainsbury's.<br /><br />This is the third year in a row that
we have won Taste of the West awards, and thanks to the two most recent additions we can now boast a speciality bread range almost entirely made up of award winning loaves. Pictures of both
the breads are available for you to look at in the gallery of the <a href="../bread/frameset.html" target="Content" alt="Bread" onclick="setnav('Bread', ' - bread')"><span style="color:#000000"> bread</span></a> section of this site.
Why not pop down and see us at Bristol Farmers market on Wednesday's to try these winners and see what else the region has to offer.</div>
