Marshmallows

[JNBunnie1]

Has anyone had the Elyon brand marshmallows? I got them at Whole Foods, I want to make my boyfriend and myself some hot chocolate (we're only gluten free) and I was about to use these marshmallows when I read the ingredients and it says "natural vanilla flavors". Has anyone had these? Do you think I'd be safe since it doesn't have a contains wheat disclaimer the way manufacturers are supposed to?

I would say it's ok....if you are really doubtful then I would call/email the company. I buy Kraft marshemllows b/c they will always disclose gluten!

Don't know of a marshmallow that isn't gluten-free. Natural vanilla flavors will be OK.

My daughter and I eat the Elyon marshmallows. A while back we checked out and tried several brands and this was the only one that worked out (gluten and dairy free, kosher). We don't eat a lot of processed foods, and don't eat them often -- usually for camping, but haven't had any problems.

I buy Kraft marshmallows too, and have no problems. Kraft is very good with their labeling.

I bought some marshmellow from Whole Foods and reacted terribly - I can't recall the brand name. They come in a clear plastic tub. I think they may be dusted with flour.... and when something is dusted or coated, it's not necessarily considered an "ingredient" per se and may not be listed, as raisins coated with soybean oil do not have soy listed in their list of ingredients... I'd go with Kraft, since Kraft is very good at disclosing ingredients, or something that's for sure gluten-free.
