Your products mentioned that they are gluten free and wheat free. Is it not the same thing?
It is important to understand that products labelled "wheat free" are not the same as those labelled "gluten free".
Wheat-free products may contain other cereals, such as rye or barley, which contains a low level of gluten which would not be suitable for a Coeliac.

Do Mrs Crimble's cakes contain hydrogenated fats?

I am a Coeliac, and I am very sensitive to gluten so I need to stick to a strict gluten-free diet. Is it true that some foods labeled as 'gluten free' still contain some gluten?
Some foods labelled as 'gluten free' could still contain small amounts of gluten this is because of the types of gluten free ingredients used in the bakery.
- Gluten free ingredients that naturally do not contain gluten (corn, rice, potatoes, vegetables...)
- Gluten free ingredients made from gluten containing ingredients such as wheat, rye but processed to render them 'gluten free' - this reduces the amount of gluten but it is impossible to remove it entirely.
