Gluten Ingredients Info Statement
2nd April 2024
RE: Gluten / Wheat Ingredients
Due to the ever-increasing demands for food safety compliance, we have decided to no longer continue claiming ‘Gluten Free’ on our products.
In the coming months you will see a transition on our packaging to no longer claim ‘Gluten Free’.
Key points:
- We will no longer be claiming ‘Gluten Free’ on our packaging
- The new packaging will change over in the coming months
- No ingredients have changed
- Nothing has change in our recipe or production processes
Background:
We have historically undertaken lab testing confirming our products as gluten free using a nil detected approach to testing.
One of the main ingredients in our products is Glucose Syrup. The glucose syrup we use has less than 20mg/kg detectable gluten and when diluted and boiled into our recipes has never returned a detectable gluten level in our lab tests. Hence the claim of Gluten Free had been previously adopted.
Due to the ever-increasing requirements of food safety compliance, we have decided to no longer make this claim.
For further information regarding glucose syrup please refer to the glucose-syrup-fact-sheet issued by Coeliac Australia.
At Kellys Candy Co. we take pride in being transparent and upfront about the quality and make-up of the ingredients in our products, so if you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
