    Celiac.com 09/22/2023 - We get a lot of questions about which foods and products are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. We especially get a lot of questions about which snacks are gluten-free. Lately, we've seen a lot of folks asking if Flamin' Hot Cheetos are gluten-free. The short answer is yes, Flamin' Hot Cheetos are naturally gluten-free and do not contain any gluten ingredients, nor do they list wheat as an allergen on their packages.

    We've done a few articles on gluten-free snacks, including one for the Super Bowl. In fact, we've even done an article on Cheetos being gluten-free, but the questions keep coming.

     Cheetos are a popular cheese-flavored corn snack. All flavors of Cheetos, including Flaming' Hot, are naturally gluten-free. Here's a list of Cheetos and other gluten-free puffed cheese snacks.

    Ten Top Brands of Gluten-Free Potato Chips
    Celiac.com 06/25/2019 - Just in time for summer, here are ten of America's top gluten-free potato chip brands. True, potatoes are naturally gluten-free, and so are potato chips, unless they've got added gluten ingredients. However, many brands do not label their chips as gluten-free, and many of these chips may be made on shared equipment. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their chips are labeled "Gluten-Free," which means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.
    Do you have a favorite chip that's not on this list? Let us know in the comment section.
