Are Planter's Peanuts Gluten-Free?

This is not correct. I was encouraged by a family member and this post to eat these peanuts in the 2.5 Oz serving size. Let’s just say it went very poorly. Not just a slight incidental amount of gluten, according to my body.

As is always the case, some celiacs will react to trace amounts of gluten in products that would fall well below the FDA standard for being considered gluten free of 20ppm if tested. Although Planter's doesn't test their products for gluten content, all information they do give would point to the likelihood if them meeting the gluten free standard. That is the point of this article IMO. It is also possible you have a sensitivity to peanuts apart from gluten.

I am absolutely sensitive to trace amounts but have no peanut allergy.
I just wanted to let people know. 
Thank you for your time. 

And thank you for your input, Jerry. I would also point out that food sensitivities are not the same as allergies.

I tried their “Nuts & Chocolate trail mix” and likely due to the trace amounts had a reaction. I do not have a nut allergy

Just FYI this article only mentions two of their nuts, so we have no idea about that product. Of course this article does not mean that ALL Planters products are safe, so beware!

I am unable to find an answer to my question: Are Planters Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts gluten free?

Does anyone know the answer?

Yes, they are gluten free.  Here are the ingredients: INGREDIENTS: PEANUTS, CONTAINS 2 % OR LESS OF SEA SALT, SPICES (CONTAINS CELERY), DRIED ONION, DRIED GARLIC, PAPRIKA, NATURAL FLAVOR, SUGAR, CORNSTARCH, GELATIN, TORULA YEAST, MALTODEXTRIN, DRIED CORN SYRUP.

The only "may contain" is tree nuts.  According to Celiac Canada, nuts are not a high risk item so people with celiac disease do not need to look for certified gluten free nuts.   Even if you are not in Canada, most products and processing protocols are the same as US.

Enjoy your peanuts!

There are no gluten ingredients used in Planters Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts, but they are not labelled "gluten-free":

I've got the Planter's Chili Lime nuts and today I was feeling great until after consuming some. Here's the ingredients: NATURAL FLAVOR Ingredients: Peanuts, Contains 2% or less of Peanut Oil, Sodium Diacetate, Sea Salt, Sugar, Dried Chili Peppers, Citric Acid, Spice, Canola Oil, Yeast Extract, Gum Arabic, Modified Cornstarch, Corn Maltodextrin, Torula Yeast, Corn Syrup, Extractives of Lime, Paprika Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Natural Flavor. Contains: Peanuts. May Contain: Tree Nuts

Bad, right? I looked up some of these ingredients and they don't seem bad.

Yeast extract may contain trace amounts of gluten, but the end result in this product is likely below 20ppm. I say this because aa Australian product called Marmite (Vegemite is another version), is 100% pure yeast extract, and it has been tested and found to contain ~30ppm. Given the amount of it used in these nuts as flavoring, you can imagine that the total gluten content would be far less, however, it's possible that you are very sensitive.

Thanks Scott, I don't think I am very sensitive. It's just frustrating when you don't see gluten-free on stuff and maybe it's okay but maybe it's not. I found out most beef jerky is NOT gluten-free and I'm traveling next week. Fortunately I found enough travel foods that are, because chances are good I won't be able to eat breakfast in the motel. I now also have to look at all meat packages! I mean, it just seems we can never ever make it to 100% gluten-free, can we.
