I have not eaten the mini eggs but I did eat a three pack of the regular size ones all in one day. I was a glutton and no gluten problem for me!

Yesterday I check out the mini and other eggs by Cadbury. Here in Wisconsin they all have wheat listed on the label.

Glucose (wheat) is highly refined and is considered safe for most people with Celiac to consume. Please read the entire link provided above.

They are made by Hershey (in the US), who's policy is not to disclose their source of "natural flavors". I try not to support Hershey for that reason.

I also love Cadbury eggs. Since I was a really little kid cadbury cream eggs have been one of my favorite candies. However, it does list wheat as being in the ingredients so I wouldn't trust them. However, I could be wrong because I am also very new to all this so if you still aren't sure I would ask a dietician or someone who may know better than me. It seems that there is a very mixed opinion on whether they are ok or not. Let usknow what you find so I know if I can have them again if they are deemed safe.

GLUCOSE, GLUCOSE SYRUP AND CARAMEL COLOUR

.

It is important for those following a gluten-free diet to incorporate the latest valid scientific information into their diets. Under current Australian food law,

.

glucose, glucose syrup and caramel colour are "gluten-free",

even if derived from wheat, as the wheat is so highly processed,

there is no gluten detected.

.

Glucose, glucose syrup, caramel and similar ingredients have no detectable gluten, even if derived from wheat.

.

New food labelling laws require food labels to list all ingredients derived from wheat, rye, barley and oats.

This does not mean that all ingredients derived from these sources actually contain gluten.

So, it is a legal requirement that the source be declared, but remember that ingredients derived from wheat that are gluten free are:

dextrose, glucose and caramel colour (additive 150).

Glucose syrup

A gluten-free sweetener made most frequently from corn, but also from tapioca, potato, sorghum or wheat starch. It is such a highly processed and purified ingredient that the source of the starch does not matter. Even if you see glucose syrup derived from wheat on a label, it is still gluten free
