Natural and Artificial Flavors

Hi everyone.

I've read that artificial flavors cannot contain gluten. Does anyone know if that's a fact? I'm asking because my mother in-law  called a candy manufacturer today(I believe it was Hershey's here in Canada) and they couldn't guarantee that those types of Kisses she was calling about contained gluten because they contain "artificial flavors". I'm asking here because as we know, sometimes those company reps are not up to date and the most knowledgeable when it comes to gluten.

Any info regarding this is greatly appreciated!

Depends on where and who they source them from...I have dealt with extract and flavoring companies that can not 100% say their extracts are gluten free because they do lines of malted extracts, beer flavored extracts, etc. They use the same packing lines just cleaned between lines with chances of contamination. Again this depends on the company and sourcing. If the company says it might not be safe simply do not eat it, common saying with this disease "If in doubt toss it out" not worth it when you can get 100% dedicated chocolates elsewhere. I have a few extract companies I trust as a bakery owner like LorAnns, Watkins, Capella Flavors.

Thank you for the link. I couldn't find anything about artificial flavoring though. Could artificial flavoring be derived from wheat, barley, rye or any other natural product?

      Is it gluten?

      Being gluten free for two weeks prior to testing can make a difference in the test results if the score is borderline.

      Is it gluten?

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I got the Celiac disease blood test but I had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not...

      I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect.

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I  got the Celiac disease blood test but I  had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not make a difference in the test results. I am not sure I believe that.  I have been reading a lot of articles about Celiac disease and they all give the same information. My GI issues are all gone since my gluten free life started around October 16th 2024, and I  don't want to go back to eating gluten. I am nervous about going back to the doctor for my test results.
