    Celiac.com 10/26/2023 - We get a lot of questions about foods and food products. We've recently gotten a bunch about chocolate. Lately questions seem to be about Mr. Goodbar. Mr. Goodbar is a candy bar made from crunchy, smooth and sweet milk chocolate with the crunch of peanuts, and is produced by The Hershey Company.

    Is Mr. Goodbar gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is no.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     Although the ingredients in Mr. Goodbar contain no gluten, Hershey does not list it on its gluten-free range of products as “being fully evaluated and qualify as gluten-free using standards established by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."

    Mr. Goodbar ingredients include:

    • Milk Chocolate, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate, Skim Milk, Milk Fat, Lecithin, Salt, Natural Flavors, Peanuts

    Mr. Goodbar does not appear on our list of popular gluten-free candy bars. But, it does appear on our UNSAFE HALLOWEEN CANDY LIST. 

    Because of this, Mr.Goodbar is not regarded as gluten-free. There may be some cross-contamination issues with their processing/packaging of Mr. Goodbar candy bars.

    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.

    Celiac.com 12/03/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about chocolate. 
    Specifically, is Lindt Chocolate Bear gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?

    For this reason, the Lindt Ch...

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
