hello! i used to love these but im diagnosed as coeliac now and the english ingredients dont specify what they mean by 'starch'. could someone please translate for me if it specifies what kind of starch ? wheat or corn is usually the options 🙂
google translate is telling me it just says 'starch' also but hoping theres some kind of distinction!
thankyou!

Sorry, it just says “starch” in all the languages without specifying 🙁
It only says “stärkelse” wich translates to starch. It does not specify.
Edit. On the wiki it says that it is cornstarch.

Wikipedia says they use corn starch
Just says starch in Swedish as well. Try contacting the manufacturer
When it just says starch, it means that it is so heavily processed that there are no risks for coeliacs. Additionally, if it comes from wheat, barley or rye, it would have been mentioned in the contents (law). They are safe to eat.
Cloettas own site says its gluten-free

A small note that you should also be wary about the “glucose syrup” is also made from starch for future products. But in this case it seems you are safe since the glucose syrup isnt made from wheat starch.

It only says starch, they don’t specify ingredients in Swedish either
My mother has celiac and these are her favorite candy, they are safe to eat.
If it’s an allergenic it would be written with capital letters.
According to “https://www.matintolerans.se/2011/07/26/godis-utan-gluten-glutenfritt-godis/”, the product is gluten free. “food intolerance magazine” is apparently a thing!
How did they sneak food past the Australian border? Bribed a kangaroo, smuggled it in a didgeridoo, and distracted customs with a Tim Tam?
