This is a sad day, Hersheys says not to eat the mini eggs, because the natual flavoring may contain gluten =( they must have changed from last year, cause i verified it safe last year

I'd trust them on that one. Especially since, for whatever reason, they added WHEAT to the Cadbury Cream Eggs. Shame on Hershey.

I am still eating them and have not had a problem. I had some today. Ingredients have not changed on my bag.

The ingredients didnt change on the bag she said, but they changed the ingredients in their natural flavorings..she told me they are not suitable for celiacs!

I would demand specifics for that statement. Going to call them now. I have eaten them for weeks now to my delight.

[blueeyedmanda]

If they are changed their natural flavoring and it contains wheat it by law needs to be listed on the bag. Did they say it contained the wheat?

No, I have had no gluten issues nor is there anything on the ingredients listing to indicate so.

I just called and their office closes at 4:00. I will try their website at www.hersheys.com

I strongly feel that the information given regarding natural flavors is from an uneducated/uninformed employee.

BTW, are we talking US here?

Can you send me an allergen list?
We have found that allergen lists quickly become outdated as our product lines change over time. Rather than have you make purchase decisions based on outdated information, we encourage you to check the ingredient label on the package. This label provides accurate, current information about all the ingredients in the package.


That is enough of an answer for me and I shall continue to indulge.

She didnt say it was wheat, she did say the natural flavorings is not suitable for celiacs. I was surprised myself, but she did say that they do change ingredients and to call if there are any questions about them.

I think Momma Goose is right, the employee may have been uneducated.
