In the Celiac Month, Arcor Group Expands its Product Portfolio and Is Ranked as the Argentine Consumer Food Company with the Largest Gluten-free Products

Arcor Group continues to strengthen its ties with the celiac community through the social networking campaign “Sin TACC, con AMOR (Without TACC [wheat-, oat-, barley- and rye-free], with LOVE)” and its more than 300 gluten-free products, now including the chocolate category with 17 presentations.

Buenos Aires, May 2018 - Under the slogan “Sin TACC, con AMOR (Without TACC, with LOVE)”, Arcor Group invites people to join the Celiac Disease Patient’s Month, to share more moments and recipes with celiac friends and family. This campaign is being promoted on the Company's social networks during May, with the release of recipes with no wheat, oat, barley and rye, the presentation of the new gluten-free chocolates under the Arcor, Godet, Misky and Aguila brands and a consumer contest, with the aim of further strengthening their relationship with the celiac community.

To participate in the contest, consumers are required to access Arcor's Facebook pages (https://www.facebook.com/ArcorARG) o Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/arcor/) and reply to a post stating to whom they would prepare a #SinTaccConAmor recipe and what that recipe is. The prize consists of Arcor gluten-free products and kitchen utensils (an apron and a set of spoons). This initiative will also encourage the sharing of recipes among consumers.
