Is Cadbury Flake Gluten Free?

Cadbury Flake is a brand of chocolate bar consisting of thinly folded milk chocolate which is rolled into fingers. These delicate chocolate treats are often enjoyed stuck in ice creams or crumbled over desserts.

To create such a thin and delicate layering of chocolate is no easy task, and the process, which is also used for the Cadbury Twirl, is kept as a closely guarded secret by Cadbury.

In fact, Cadbury proudly boasts that to date, no other chocolate bar manufacturer can rival the delicate texture of a Cadbury Flake.

But whilst the manufacturing process for making these crumbly treats may be a closely guarded secret, the ingredient list is public information.

So let’s dig in and find out if this delicate chocolate treat can be enjoyed by Coeliacs:

Is Cadbury Flake Gluten Free?

The Answer is: NO*

 

*According to the ingredient list and information which can be found on the website, it states that Flake does not contain any wheat or gluten-containing ingredients.

After receiving multiple comments from users, we can confirm this item is not gluten free due to cross contamination.

Cadbury Flake may be made in an environment where other gluten products are produced, which means that it could potentially be contaminated.

With that said, many people with celiac disease consume wheat free products from the Cadbury’s range of chocolate without any side effects. So this is up to you, the consumer and the severity of your intolerance/allergy.
