Gluten Free Candy List (Updated October 2017)

Gluten free candy is very hard to figure out. Reading labels for gluten is a hassle which is why I created this gluten-free candy list to make it easier! Every Halloween, Valentine's Day, and Easter, I update this gluten-free candy list to make sure you are all safe around the holidays. There's so many candies that can contain gluten that you would have never thought of! This list will at least let you know what you can have while being gluten-free. If you would like any brands added to this list, please comment and I will look it up for you! I hope this helps!

"In addition to the label change, we tested our U.S. products and found no identifiable levels of the wheat allergen. We changed our labels to ensure consumers have the most information available to make informed decisions regarding their health. Our recipe has not changed, so consumers can expect the same delicious and fun experience with our Gold-Bears at under 20 ppm."

Disclaimer: Kraft claims that they cannot guarantee that any of their products are gluten-free by FDA standards. However, none of the 3 products above contain gluten containing ingredients. It is said to be up to the customer to determine whether it is safe for them or not. I have not heard of any people getting a reaction from these 3 products, myself included. This is one company to be careful with and judge by yourself.
