Are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Gluten Free Or Not?

Fine in my experience--never had a problem with them. My wife can't get her mind around mixing chocolate with peanut butter, so all the more for me. :P

Here is an updated candy list for 2018:

Reese’s should be gluten free except for mini’s or candy for holidays like Valentine’s Day.  

Do you have DH (celiac rash)? If so, 20 parts per million may be too much for you.  Often DH suffers must adhere to a really strict Gluten Free diet.

Sounds like it might be more of a allergy to some other ingredient, I get blisters from a corn allergy I got after Celiac, and we are more prone to allergies, intolerance, and food sensitivities.

I also have a peanut issue...going to tell you how I get my butter cup fix.
I mix up a custom batch of that sweetened nut butter here is the trick, 1 cup butter (I use almond or sunbutter) warmed up so it is about pour able (double boiler method) Mixed with 1 cup powdered sugar (I use Swerve Confectioners both sugar and corn Free) 1/4-1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp vanilla mix well
In another double boiler set up melt your chocolate (I use lakanto bars which are sugar and dairy free)
Using a muffin tin, pour some chocolate into the bottom of each tin, move to the freezer for 15-30mins, then top with your butter mix, freeze again and finish with more chocolate, freeze for a few hours til solid and can be popped out...HOME MADE BUTTER CUPS...oh yeah you can go crazy with it, use a pie pan......jumbo cup.

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply and links, Wheatwacked. Definitely some food for thought. However, I would point out that your linked articles refer to gliadin in human breast milk, not cow's milk. And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies also indicate the amount of gliadin in human breast milk is miniscule and unlikely to cause reactions:  https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-peptides-in-human-breast-milk-implications-for-cows-milk/ I would also point out that Dr. Peter Osborne's doctorate is in chiropractic medicine, though he also has studied and, I believe, holds some sort of certifications in nutritional science. To put it plainly, he is considered by many qualified medical and nutritional professionals to be on the fringe of quackery. But he has a dedicated and rabid following, nonetheless.

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
