Genius Foods Limited is a manufacturer of gluten and wheat free baked products such as breads, cakes, and pies. The headquarters of the company is based in Edinburgh.
History[edit]
Genius Foods Ltd. was founded in 2008 by Scottish chef and writer Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne[1] under the name Gardyne Foods Limited.
It has also acquired several subsidiary companies two of which operate as the manufacturing sites. UCB based in Bathgate, West Lothian. Chapel Foods based out of Bottesford, North Lincolnshire.
It also owns the brand Livwell that was acquired in 2013 with the acquisition of United Central Bakeries.[2] Although they retain the Livwell brand, the production plant in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire was closed down in 2017 due to faultering international trade.[3] Resulting in the loss of 151 full time employees over two waves of redundancy.
Product Recalls[edit]
Genius has had two major product recalls.
One in 2015 was for several products produced for supermarket own label. Products contained gluten when marked as gluten free.[4]
The Second recall was in 2019 when egg contamination was found in bagels marked as egg free.[5]
