12 of the best gluten-free snacks
Whatever your reason for cutting out gluten, you’ll probably be looking for snacks that are gluten-free and that taste good too. Going gluten-free doesn’t have to mean you miss out on delicious treats, as you can still easily indulge in many of your favourite foods.
Gluten-free snacks need to be carefully sourced, produced and packaged to avoid gluten contamination. But thanks to the substantial growth in the gluten-free food market (worth an estimated £835 million per year ), there are more gluten-free snacks on the shelves than ever before.
