Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Confectionery: Double-Restriction Sweets Collection
For customers who need to avoid both gluten and dairy simultaneously — whether due to celiac disease combined with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy, or due to a vegan dietary choice that excludes animal products — the confectionery selection available from most sources is minimal. Andy Anand's Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free collection addresses this intersection with products verified at both levels: gluten-free at production level using dedicated equipment and scheduled production windows, and dairy-free at ingredient specification level covering milk, whey, casein, and lactose in every ingredient and sub-ingredient.
The collection is anchored by our Belgian 60%+ cacao dark chocolate products. Dark chocolate at 60%+ cacao is naturally both gluten-free and dairy-free: the specification includes cacao, cocoa butter, sugar, and lecithin. No milk powder, no dairy derivatives. We verify this at the formulation level of our Belgian chocolate specification, not just the product label. Our dark chocolate range thus provides a naturally doubly-restricted foundation for the collection.
Beyond chocolate, the collection includes imported European hard candy and fruit confectionery formats that are naturally gluten-free by recipe — boiled sugar confections, fruit jellies, and traditional European formats that predate the use of wheat in candy production. We source these from European producers whose formulations we have reviewed at specification level. Products using gelatin (not vegan/dairy-free for some definitions) are clearly identified. Products using agar-based gelling agents are identified as vegan-compatible.
