Moo Free Ltd. is a British manufacturer of dairy free, gluten free, vegan[1] and organic[2] chocolates.[3] Their head office is located in Holsworthy, Devon, England.[4] The company was established in 2010[5][6][7] by husband and wife team Mike and Andrea Jessop[8] with the intent of making a dairy free chocolate with a taste similar to that of milk chocolate by using rice milk instead of conventional dairy milk.[9] The concept was to ensure that vegan children, those with food allergies or intolerance, and children on the autism spectrum (who often cannot eat certain things for medical reasons) could have traditional seasonal chocolates such as Easter eggs and Advent calendars.[6][10][11] In addition to being vegan,[1] the company's products are also free from dairy, gluten, wheat and soya,[3] and are made from organically certified[12] ingredients.

The company's range includes a variety of bars, bags of chocolates and seasonal products, including Advent Calendars and Easter Eggs.[11]
