Cadbury's I hate you

Wednesday, April 8. 2009

Having allowed the wheat blog to languish for way too long something so heinous has persuaded me that it’s time to restart blogging the groans, moans and hassles of wheat free life.

And what crime against humanity I hear you thinking has prompted this? Well Cadbury’s Creme Eggs are no longer wheat free. Check out the packaging, it clearly says “glucose (from wheat)”.

Yet go to the Cadbury’s website and the website states that Cadbury’s Creme Eggs are “Gluten Absent (suitable for coeliacs)” and “Wheat Absent”, see screenshot below from the Creme Eggs nutrition info on the Cadbury website.

Errrrrr, so if the glucose is from wheat, then what makes it gluten & wheat absent? And why after all these years have they now sourced crap quality wheat based glucose. Perhaps China is now making the Creme Eggs? Oh no, that’s not possible there’s no melamine listed...

My 5 yr old daughter has a diagnosed wheat allergy. We saw a dietician soon after she was first diagnosed a year ago. She explained that although foods say wheat from glucose sugar it IS ok to eat for those who are wheat free. I know that is confusing it was for us for quite some time and we needed reasurrance on many occasions that she was correct but apparently it is so. I can't remember the process to make it safe, but the key thing she said was that if it's a food ending in the word 'ose' it would be ok, but worth checking out for yourself if you are wheat free.
