I saw cadbury creme eggs on that list...I thought they contained wheat. The ones I got for my daughter this year had wheat listed in the ingredients.
The source of glucose is wheat, but processed to the levels that is considered safe for people with Celiac to consume.

What you say about wheat-based glucose syrup is correct, in fact, Shelley Case, the go-to gluten-free dietitian and author of Gluten Free Diet: A Comprehensive Resource Guide says that glucose syrup can be derived from a variety of starches including wheat. Corn is the most common however Europe uses wheat more frequently. The glucose syrups are highly processed and purified and R5 elisa tests have found the majority to contain very little residual gluten if any. The European Food Safety Authority put out a report on the safety of glucose syrups.
Hopefully this helps anyone who comes across 'glucose syrup (wheat)' on a food label.
