Australia's largest biscuit producer has granted a wish for all you Coeliacs!
The demand for gluten-free products continues to rise with Coealic disease affecting close to 1 in 70 Aussies, with another 7% of the population reporting gluten intolerance.
It's taken some time, but Arnott's have finally brought a range of bikkies to the gluten-free party including their Tiny Teddy, Choc Ripple and Scotch Finger biscuits.
Like the rest of us, the snack-mogul understand that flavour often get's compromised when manufacturing products without gluten, but they've declared with this new range 'there's no substitute for flavour!'.
"Endorsed by Coeliac Australia, we've baked the tastiest Gluten Free biscuits money can buy!
Finally, snacking salvation for the estimated 6 million Australians who avoid gluten!
We're introducing a new range of gluten Free biscuits that don’t compromise on taste and quality. Our all-star lineup includes gluten free versions of our iconic Scotch Finger, Tiny Teddy, and Choc Ripple biscuits.
All three biscuits were developed to the exacting taste specifications of Arnott’s culinary team. And great care was taken to achieve a delicious flavour and texture, like the buttery crumble of Scotch Finger, or the cocoa crunch of Choc Ripple"
Arnott’s Brand Manager, Graham Fairbairn, said the product has been long-awaited. “With millions of consumers seeking out snacks that are both gluten free AND delicious, we decided it was time to treat them to biscuits that meet their dietary requirements without compromising on taste. When it comes to Arnott’s, there’s no substitute.”
The new range is Australian made with a gluten free flour blend using locally sourced maize, tapioca, rice, sorghum, and soy.
Which one are you gonna try first?

Brisbane will be formally declared as host of the 2032 Olympic Games by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday.
The Brisbane bid encompassing south-east Queensland will be ratified by a vote of 87 IOC members meeting in Tokyo.
The vote is essentially a rubber-stamping of Brisbane's bid, given it has already been granted preferred bidder status and no other cities are running against it.
The Brisbane 2032 delegation will make a formal final presentation to the IOC meeting before the vote, expected about 6pm AEST.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner have flown to Tokyo to be part of the presentation, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison to feature remotely.
The bid has detailed a $5 billion cost of hosting the Games in Brisbane, which will be the third Australian city after Melbourne (1956) and Sydney (2000) to host an Olympics.
Bid documents forecast most of the Games income will come from ticket sales of around $1.3b and domestic sponsorship of $1.7b.
The IOC's global sponsorship would contribute another $446 million.
Worldwide broadcast rights would be worth at least $951m, or 19 per cent of the Brisbane Games' budget - that figure could grow during future television rights negotiations.
Brisbane's bid committee has also earmarked spending $690m on existing and new venues and also and temporary infrastructure for various venues.
The bid predicts economic benefits of hosting of around $17b nationally, with about $8b of that for Queensland.
Athletes will stay at villages located in Brisbane (10,729 beds) and the Gold Coast (2,600 beds) with smaller villages on the Sunshine Coast and Wyaralong.

Norway's beach handball team has been fined 1500 euros ($A2400) for being improperly dressed after the women wore shorts instead of bikini bottoms at a European championship match in Bulgaria.
The European Handball Federation (EHF) said in a statement that its disciplinary commission had dealt with "a case of improper clothing" in the bronze medal match against Spain.
It added that the shorts were "not according to the Athlete Uniform Regulations defined in the IHF Beach Handball Rules of the Game".
The fine, worked out at 150 euros ($A240) per player, was criticised by the Norwegian federation while the country's sports minister Abid Raja said it was "completely ridiculous" and attitudes needed to change.
The Norwegian federation said on Twitter it was proud of the women for standing up and saying enough was enough.
"We at NHF stand behind you and support you. Together we will continue to fight to change the rules for clothing, so that players can play in the clothes they are comfortable with," it said.
Beach Handball's rules stipulate that female players must wear tops and bikini bottoms. Men wear tank tops and shorts.
"Athletes' uniforms and accessories contribute to helping athletes increase their performance as well as remain coherent with the sportive and attractive image of the sport," the uniform regulations add.
"Female athletes must wear bikini bottoms ... with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg."
The Norwegian Women’s Beach Handball team is facing fines for wanting to wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms. The bottoms are not to cover “more than 10cm on any sides.”

The men’s team wears shorts.
The sexualization of women athletes must stop. https://t.co/IZEzbrE0Iw
I knew there was a double standard for uniforms worn by male and female athletes... but this picture of Norway's beach handball team says a lot. https://t.co/qdZBKU7pTK pic.twitter.com/KoWdOvecmr

Can you please stop the forced bikini nonsense at your beach handball games?
It is embarrassing, disgraceful and sexist.
You are ruining both the sport and your own reputation.
