Gluten-free sweets: understanding the label

Gluten-free sweets: understanding the label

‘Gluten-free’ has a defined meaning in the European Union. The food as sold may contain no more than 20 milligrams of gluten per kilogram, also expressed as 20 ppm.

Read ingredients and product information

Gluten occurs in grains including wheat, barley and rye. Sweet recipes vary, so shape, colour and product name are not enough to guide a choice. Check the ingredients, allergens and any gluten-free statement for the exact version.

Additional conditions apply to oats in foods labelled gluten-free. Ingredients made from grains also need careful assessment because origin and processing matter.

Choose using clear information

Gluten-free does not automatically mean wheat-free. A product without a certification logo can still meet the legal gluten-free limit; a logo is not a universal requirement.
