The 11-year-old bear, who arrived at the Zoo in December 2011 along with male panda Yang Guang, was given a gluten-free cake made specially by her keepers.

The cake is based on a secret recipe supplied by the Zoo’s Chinese counterparts.

In captivity, pandas are generally fed bamboo diets, although Zoos may provide specially-made biscuits or other dietary supplements.
