You can easily find these gluten free goodies mostly at Coles, Woolworths, and Big W, and really any other retailer where chocolates and lollies are sold.
But before we dive into these gluten free treats, it’s important to understand these key terms:
- Declared Gluten Free: These treats have undergone testing and meet strict gluten free standards. Manufacturers confidently label them “gluten free,” ensuring you can trust these treats to be safe for those with gluten sensitivities without having to delve into the details of all the ingredients.
- Gluten Free by Ingredient: Some treats are inherently gluten free, as their ingredients do not include gluten sources like wheat, barley, or rye. These products may have a ‘may contain’ statement, which indicates the possible, unintended presence of cross-contamination. Keep in mind this ‘may contain’ statements is voluntary, so it’s important to check labels.
The choice to consume these products depends on your personal comfort level with cross-contamination risk. If you’re uncertain about what’s right for you, consulting a dietitian who specialises in gluten free diets can be invaluable.
