Is Hawkstone Cider Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Ingredients

The ancient Hawkstone stands proud: looking out over the orchards of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshi Worcestershire, from where we gather the very finest Bish heritage cider apple varieties. Using the fresh pressed juice from the apples picked in those counties, our master cider makers ferment with champagne yeast and mature the cider for up to six months, before cold-filtering to create a cider that's full of flavour and character. Never from concentrate, never pasteurised. Hard to make-easy to drink Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and coeliacs.

What is a Alpha-Gal Friendly diet?

An Alpha-Gal diet eliminates mammalian meat and products containing mammalian-derived ingredients to prevent allergic reactions in people with alpha-gal syndrome. This includes beef, pork, lamb, dairy products, gelatin, and certain medications derived from mammals. The condition involves a specific sugar molecule found in most mammals, often triggered after a tick bite. People may experience delayed allergic reactions 3-6 hours after consuming trigger foods. The diet focuses on safe alternatives like poultry, fish, and plant-based proteins. When followed carefully, often with guidance from an allergist or dietitian, it can prevent serious reactions while maintaining adequate nutrition.
