It's important for people with celiac disease to avoid gluten. So, it's important to know what is and what is not gluten-free.

     Still, one of the most common product questions we see is: Are Skittles gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is Yes! Skittles are clearly labeled gluten-free. Plus, they just made green Skittles lime again!

    Are Snickers Candy Bars Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 01/22/2019 - We see a lot of questions about the gluten-free status of certain foods, candies, or snacks. One of the most common product questions we see is: Are Snickers candy bars gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is yes! Currently, all flavors of Snickers, Snickers Dark bars, Snickers fun size and Snickers mini's are gluten-free, according to website for parent company Mars. The longer answer is that it's always wise to check, as product formulation can change, sometimes suddenly.

    Safe Gluten-Free Halloween Candy & Chocolate List
    Celiac.com 10/29/2025 - Our Safe Gluten-Free Halloween Candy list is back for 2025—refreshed, expanded, and easier to scan. We’ve updated brand and product entries A to Z, and we’ve also clarified items that are not safe or that carry cross-contact caveats. The goal is simple: help you pick candy with confidence if you live gluten-free for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

    This year’s update adds new labeled gluten-free options from both big and small makers, plus more seasonal minis and variety bags you’ll actually see on shelves. As always, this list is a guide, not a substitute for the label in your hand—formulas, suppliers, and facilities can change. When in doubt, check the package, look for a gluten-free statement or certification, and contact the manufacturer.

    The Top 16 Gluten-Free Candy Bars
    Celiac.com 04/21/2020 (Updated on 03/05/2021) - We've had more than a few requests for a handy list of top candy bars that are gluten-free. Note that although some of these bars do not use "gluten-free" on their labels, they do list all ingredients and disclose whether they contain any of the top 8 allergens. If you're a candy bar lover looking for a reliable source of gluten-free candy bars, it's always best to look for bars that specifically marked "gluten-free," however, many of the bars in this list have been consumed for years by celiacs without issues, and don't contain any gluten ingredients. These major brands of candy bars are widely available, are gluten-free by ingredient and allergen disclosures, and deliver good bang for the buck.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a...

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to...

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger. I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone. My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies. Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies...

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.
