Today I was given a Lowney Cherry Blossom which is made by hershey's Canada company. It looks and smells SO good! I'm needing to find out if it is gluten-free or not? I'm really hoping someone can help me out a little

My understanding is that Hershey will not hide gluten. It will be clearly disclosed in the ingredient list using one of the words: wheat, rye, barley, or oat. If none of these words appear in the ingredient list, enjoy! I don't eat many sweets, and haven't had a Cherry Blossom in about 20 years, but I do recall enjoying them when I was young.

Maybe the store clerks just pull them from the shelves when they see you comming. "OH, there's that lady that buys them ALL, HURRY HURRY!!"
