Satunnainen

The Pätkis bar is a favorite delicacy of many Finns, but the question often arises for those thinking about gluten-free: is the Pätkis bar gluten-free? In this article, we look at the ingredients of the Pätkis bar and find out whether it can be suitable for those following a gluten-free diet.

Ingredients of Pätkis bar

The manufacturer of the Pätkis bar is Fazer, and an exact list of ingredients can be found on their website. The ingredients of the Pätkis bar are as follows:

  • Sugar
  • Vegetable fat (palm, shea)
  • Fat-free milk powder
  • Cocoa powder
  • Cocoa mass
  • Whey (from milk)
  • Emulsifier (lecithin, contains soy)
  • Salt
  • Aroma (vanillin)

Gluten-free

A gluten-free diet avoids wheat, barley, rye and oats, unless the oats are specifically marked as gluten-free. There is no mention of wheat, barley, rye or oats in the Pätkis bar’s ingredient list. This suggests that the Pätkis bar does not contain gluten.

Possibility of cross-contamination

Even though the ingredients of the Pätkis bar do not contain gluten, it is important to consider possible cross-contamination during the production process. Fazer states that products containing gluten are also processed in their factories, so there is a small risk that the Pätkis bar may contain traces of gluten.

Summary

In summary, the ingredients of the Pätkis bar do not contain gluten, but cross-contamination may occur during the production process. If you have celiac disease or are very sensitive to gluten, it is recommended to be careful and possibly choose a product that is clearly labeled as gluten-free.
