As a food science expert with a focus on ingredient analysis, I can tell you that Maltesers, a popular chocolate candy, typically contain malt extract made from barley. Barley does contain gluten, which is a protein found in certain grains. However, the amount of gluten in Maltesers is very low due to the small amount of malt extract used and the processing involved in making the candy. For individuals with celiac disease or a severe gluten intolerance, it's important to note that while the gluten content might be low, it's still present and could cause a reaction. Always check the manufacturer's label for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
