Quick Question About Starbursts


Mjohnson73

Recommended Posts

Mjohnson73 Apprentice

Hi all....

My son's class at school are having the following candy as a special "Treat" on Friday at his halloween party...

1. Dum-Dum Pops (which on the list are listed as gluten-free)

2. Smarties (also listed as gluten-free)

3. Star Bursts

it is the Star Bursts that I am concerned about... it has "Modified Food Starch" in it, but it is on the list of "Safe Halloween Candy".... Do they use Corn starch or should I just not let him have those....

I know he can have the dum dum pops and the smarties...

Thanks in advance!

Please be careful with the smarties. I love these and have been severely poisened by them. When I called the company they said they dusted the lines with flour but that the smarties themselves were gluten-free! They may have changed this practice call to make sure.

the last bag of Smarties I bought actually said Gluten Free somewhere on the label... I haven't had any problems with them and I am extremely sensitive.

      Restaurant had a ‘GF’ pizza option… then whispered, ‘But we use the same oven.’ 🍕⚰️ Share your worst ‘gluten-free, but not really’ moments!

      I have not made my own juices but have made my own granola copycat recipe from Trader Joes Turmeric ginger granola. Have you made your own juices? blending vs cold pressed what is better?

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks
