Some people are gluten intolerant, some people are wheat intolerant and some people are both wheat and gluten intolerant. If you have one of these problems make the effort to find out exactly what your intolerance is so that you are not missing out on the delicious products that are in fact quite safe for you to eat.
To save confusion, and for those people who are gluten and / or wheat intolerant; we are now making Macadamia Munch, Macadamia Honey Ginger, Macadamia Coffee Break and Macadamia Rocky Road bars with non-wheat glucose.
However, for those people who have a gluten tolerance, you may be interested in the following information. People suffering from coeliac disease are often told to just avoid all foods that contain wheat or wheat products. This is not totally necessary. There are a number of ingredients (glucose, dextrose, caramel colour, etc) that are gluten free even if derived from wheat. The processes used to create these products actually remove the gluten. Your state “Coeliac Society” will confirm this. So products that contain glucose made from wheat are quite safe for people who are gluten intolerant.
On the other hand, people who are wheat intolerant still need to avoid products that contain glucose made from wheat or other wheat by-products.
The good news is: ‘Macaday’s Macadamia Munch, Macadamia Honey Ginger, Macadamia Rocky Road, Macadamia Coffee Break and Macadamia Nugget bars are now all gluten and wheat free.
