Response from Sharpham Park about BBC Good Food Magazine

Here is a response from Sharpham Park about the BBC Good Food Magazine article which claimed that Sharpham Parks mince pies where Gluten free.

Hello Hannah

Firstly, thank you for getting in touch. It is always good to hear from people who have heard about Sharpham Park, or tried our products .. even if the comments are negative!

Hannah, I am so very sorry that you, and very many others, have been misled by the article that appeared in the BBC Good Food Magazine

 

As you are well aware, spelt does contain gluten, which is why it makes such lovely bread! However, it is the molecular structure of the proteins in the gluten which are very different from that of wheat, and which makes spelt very much easier to digest than wheat. It is therefore suitable for many people who suffer from a wheat intolerance – such as IBS, bloating, etc.

I do hope this is helpful, but if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to get back to me.

With sincere good wishes

Kate
