Quick help please with sweets for folk with coeliac disease

Please help me, I don't want to get this wrong.

I want to buy a box of sweets or something for a group ds goes to. Part of the time is spent sitting around a table chatting and eating sweeties. One of the boys has coeliac disease and he often doesn't eat the shared things or brings his own things.

Is there an equivalent to a box of Quality Street or something that I can buy for ds to take in and they can all share?

We have Asda and Sainsburys near us if anyone knows if they have anything suitable? Will it be clearly labelled if it's suitable or do I need to know something more?

Any suggestions for aomething I can order online that will arrive within a few days?

Thank you

Malteser Santa's are GF, regular Maltesers aren't (last time we checked) as they're made in different factories - one being GF environment, the other not GF. Agreed, it's lovely of you to consider him OP.

No! It's KitKat that do GF seasonal bunnies/santas, not Maltesers.

It's really nice of you to consider his allergy. My DC has allergies too and it's so appreciated when people take them seriously.

That said, do they really have to have junk food at all? It must be so hard for parents of children with gut problems in the UK when sugary foods are constantly given out. No wonder there are so many people with gastro problems these days.

Just to round the thread off, i got a bit confused by barley and wheat and all on the labels so went for these 3 in our local co-op. All gluten free, 2 also milk and egg free. Hopefully there's something there for everyone. Even vegan marshmallows on the rocky road cake for my vegetarian. I might also throw in a bag of Haribo just in case.

Obviously not the garlic bread that's lurking in the background, that's for our lunch tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help. I've learned a few things for sure.
