Is tastee Apple( Caramel Apples) Gluten free

[Bethanylynn]

just curious because my dad bought some tastee apples caramel apples plain and looked on the back and they looked safe to me, well maybe a hour or so after my tummy kinda felt bloated and felt just icky after eating that. Been feeling kinda bleh ever since Friday of last week after purchasing gluten free Cheerios and Monday purchasing gluten free Chex granola and felt really bloated but didn't really look bloated just felt bloated but on Thursday I looked bloated after eating the Chex granola. Felt a little bit better today, my dinner was gluten free and I made sure it wasn't. Only had brown sugar garlic steak cocoa powder so everything was gluten free. After having that I ate my Carmel Apple felt okay until an hour or so after and now I'm feeling bloated just feel weird and just not okay. The website says they are gluten free, but ppl are saying that they found wheat on the we site ingredients but I didn't find that. What do you guys think?

I don't have a label to read, so I can only say most times caramel apples (plain) don't have gluten.

I have just read an article on caramel apples being a risk for Listeria.  The apple juice released from being pierced with the stick can grow the bacteria under the layer of caramel. (even refrigerated caramel apples grew ~lesser amount of~ bacteria.  So caramel apples should be fresh to be safe.

My state is currently involved in a recall for caramel apples for Listeria and spinach for salmonella.
