Which brands of chocolates are gluten-free?

If you are celiac or gluten intolerant, you know how hard it can be to find chocolates that are safe for your health. The good news is that many brands now offer gluten-free chocolates or chocolates made with gluten-free ingredients. However, it is essential to understand the difference between a “gluten-free” product and one that is “suitable for celiacs.” In this article, we explain which brands offer suitable chocolates, what you should check on labels, and how to minimize risks if you are gluten-sensitive or have celiac disease.

What does it mean for a chocolate to be gluten-free?

A product labeled as “gluten-free,” according to EU Regulation 828/2014, must contain less than 20 milligrams of gluten per kilogram. This may be enough for people with mild sensitivity, but it is not always safe for those with celiac disease since there is a risk of cross-contamination.

“Gluten-free” Chocolates vs. “Suitable for Celiacs”

• Gluten-free: The product does not contain gluten ingredients, but may have been made in facilities where cereals containing gluten are handled.
• Suitable for celiacs: These are products in which the absence of gluten traces has been verified, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

In summary, not all gluten-free chocolates are suitable for celiacs. Therefore, it’s important to read labels carefully, consult manufacturers, and if you have celiac disease, to avoid products that don’t guarantee total absence of traces.

Are they suitable for celiacs?

It is important to note that although our products do not contain added gluten, we cannot guarantee total absence of traces. This is because the chocolates are made in facilities where ingredients containing gluten are also handled.

Tips for choosing chocolates if you are celiac

Choosing chocolates suitable for celiacs might seem challenging, but these tips will help you reduce risks:

• Always read the label: look for the “gluten-free” mention and check for warnings about traces.
• Check the manufacturer's website: many provide detailed information on processes and allergens.
• Avoid artisan products without certification: even if natural, they could have been contaminated.
• Trust brands with gluten-free certification: such as Torras or Sweet Switch.
• Ask before buying: especially in brick-and-mortar shops with loose products.

What should the labeling of a gluten-free chocolate include?

Gluten-free labeling is a key tool for people with celiac disease. Under EU Regulation 828/2014, a product may state “gluten-free” if it contains less than 20 ppm (parts per million). It must also specify if traces may be present.

Technologies that help guarantee safety

Thanks to food traceability systems and automatic labeling, manufacturers can provide accurate information about ingredients and possible contaminants. However, ultimate responsibility lies with the consumer, who must stay informed and act with caution.
