OzeChoc labelled gluten free
A Milo replacement it is not but it does have decidedly Quik-like properties. Either way, the kids really like Dick Smith’s OzeChoc and so do I.
It’s my latest find and one of a new breed of products I am going to dub lurkers because they are not found in supermarket “health food” sections with most of the other gluten free grub. Instead they quietly, modestly lurk among regular products on regular shelves.
But they they are different to products like corn chips and baked beans which may well be gluten free but are not labelled thus.
The lurker makers have not only taken the quality control steps required to ensure their products can be labelled gluten free but also the trouble to declare it loud and proud on the pack.
Because I usually only happen upon them by chance, I thought it may be of use to start listing products we have found that fall into this category. We will continue to add to this list and would love to hear of any good finds by readers as well. So far we have:
OzeChoc (Dick Smith)
Gluten free burritos (Woolworths brand)
Peanut butter (Kraft)
Frozen gluten free pies and sausage roles (Patties)
Frozen crepes (Creative Gourmet)
Frozen nuggets & fish bites etc (Bayview)
Frozen pastry, puff & short crust (Pastry Pantry)

While not exactly falling into this category, but a find I feel I must share. I was recently informed by a Coeliac friend that Arnotts rice biscuits are gluten free and boy are they good. Would work a treat as a cheesecake base too.
I heard that recently the Arnotts Rice Cookies can no longer be considered GF. Pity as yes they were great for base for cheese cake.
That is a shame. Thanks for letting us know.
