Making informed choices Allergen & Dietary Information

Our products that contain only nuts, plain chocolate, or glucose syrup (in jelly slabs) are gluten-free, and we work diligently to ensure that the risk of contamination is minimized throughout the manufacturing process. We maintain standards approved by Coeliac Australia and Food Standards Australia New Zealand to ensure our chocolate and confectionery products can be enjoyed by people on gluten-free diets, and with coeliac disease and gluten intolerance.

• Glucose Syrup: Our glucose is derived from corn starch and is used exclusively in our jelly slabs. The glucose syrup used in our products contains less than 10 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, a concentration that is approved by Coeliac Australia. Given that the glucose is used in very small quantities, gluten content in our products is considered to be below detectable levels, typically less than 0.5 ppm. Based on these measurements, we do not include gluten in our allergen labeling for jelly slabs.

• Other Products: Our slabs and panned products (except for liquorice bullets) are gluten-free. We prepare these products in an uncontaminated environment, as they are produced on food-grade plastic sheeting that is changed every batch. Additionally, all production areas are thoroughly cleaned, especially after liquorice production, ensuring the risk of cross-contamination is minimized.

Cross-Contamination Prevention

• While our facilities handle multiple ingredients, including gluten-containing materials, we follow strict procedures to prevent cross-contamination. After producing liquorice, equipment is thoroughly cleaned to bare metal before proceeding with other products. Independent testing conducted after liquorice production has confirmed that gluten levels in these areas are below the Limit of Detection (LOD) established by FSANZ, ensuring that any gluten present is below detectable levels.

For those with dairy allergies and/or lactose intolerances, the majority of our dark chocolate slabs and our entire vegan milk chocolate range is dairy free. 

• Bulk Products: Most of our dark ‘bulk products’ range (panned fruit, nuts, confectionery, etc) are not considered to be lactose free as they have milk solids present from ghee.
• Slabs: The inclusions for our dark macadamia brittle slabs and dark salted caramel slabs are produced using butter, so are not dairy free.

Cross-Contamination

• Because many of our products contain dairy and lactose, we cannot guarantee there won’t be cross contamination traces. All efforts are made to reduce cross contamination, but all products are made in the same factory, with the same equipment.  

We have a small 39% vegan milk chocolate range in both slabs and packets. The majority of our dark chocolate slabs do not actively contain any animal products. 

• Bulk Products: Most of our dark ‘bulk products’ range (panned fruit, nuts, confectionery, etc) are not considered to be vegan friendly as they have milk solids present from ghee, and shellac (an animal by-product). 
• Slabs: The inclusions for our dark macadamia brittle slabs and dark salted caramel slabs are produced using butter, so are not dairy free. Our peppermint slab includes gelatine (an animal by-product).
• Confectionery: Our confectionery range, including rocky road, coconut marshmallow and honeycomb, all include gelatine (an animal by-product).

Cross-Contamination

• Because many of our products contain animal products and by-products, we cannot guarantee there won’t be cross contamination traces. All efforts are made to reduce cross contamination, but all products are made in the same factory, with the same equipment.  

We have a small range of products which include peanuts or tree nuts, so they are present in our facility. These include:

• Peanuts 
• Almonds 
• Macadamias 
• Pistachios 
• Hazelnuts 
• Pecans  

These products have the nut listed explicitly in their product name, except for our Noosa Crunch product which includes macadamias. All products have the nuts listed in their ingredients.

Cross-Contamination

• Because some of our products contain nuts, we cannot guarantee there won’t be cross contamination traces. All efforts are made to reduce cross contamination, but all products are made in the same factory, with the same equipment.  

All of our products include a small amount of soy, as it is a component of our chocolate emulsifier. Our coconut marshmallow does not contain soy as an ingredient, but is made in the same factory as our other products, so we cannot guarantee cross contamination will not occur.

Cross-Contamination

• Because the majority of our products contain soy, we cannot guarantee there won’t be cross contamination traces. All efforts are made to reduce cross contamination, but all products are made in the same factory, with the same equipment.
