"We have worked with Coeliac UK, the national charity for people with coeliac disease, to gain their Crossed Grain symbol gluten-free certification, which all people with coeliac disease and those following a Gluten Free diet will recognise, as we believe that currently there is a very limited choice in confectionery for everyone with this condition," said Ross Stanley, head of trade marketing at Big Bear.

The range includes: Shivering Sharks; Freezing Frogs; Ice Burgers; Polar Bears; Snowy Seals and Perishing Penguins.

Fox’s Candy Bear is launching in 200g sharing bags, with a recommended GBP1 (US$1.54) retail price.
