With 13 percent of the UK population cutting gluten out of their diet, there is a growing demand for products that accommodate changing dietary preferences. These snacks provide a portable option for gluten-free consumers who need to eat on the run. The new line from Saf Life consists of ready-to-eat snacks that are raw, vegan and gluten-free. The line includes popular choices such as [kale crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caulitos) and coconut chips, as well as unexpected products such as coconut pastilles and nutty nori. Each product is packaged in a resealable pouch or slim plastic tube for portable snacking.
