Is Toblerone Gluten-Free?

Toblerone used to be my favorite and go-to chocolate until I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I notice the ingredients listed are milk, almonds, soy and eggs. It is NOT labeled gluten-free. I was wondering if any celiacs have tried Toblerone and had a reaction? Thank you.

I sometimes eat it and have had no reaction. Of course this does not guarantee that it is 100% gluten-free, or that a small batch could not be contaminated.

Unfortunately their web site give no additional info (https://www.mondelezinternational.com/Our-Brands/Toblerone), however, in the USA, known allergens, including wheat must legally be disclosed on the ingredient label.

@Scott Adams, thank you for the reply. I too checked their website, but not much about allergens or gluten can be found. Since Toblerone is one of my weaknesses, I have occasionally eaten a few triangles with no reaction whatsoever. However, I have always consumed them with a capsule of GliadinX, just to be safe.

I eat toblerone regularly. It seems to be on the OK list for celiacs in my country and I have the impression that we all eat it here. I don't know if anyone contacted the company or if they just assume it's ok because of the list of ingredients that doesn't list gluten, not even as "possible traces". I also eat other such snacks. Of course, it's best not to overdo with such processed food.

      That is a solid home test--feel free to share other tests you run.

      Definitely consult with your doctor before considering such high doses--5,000 IU is likely fine, but 50,000 IU could cause serious issues over time.

      Hello all,  I used the Elisa Technology test by EZ Gluten. It is PTM sm certified and tests down to 10,000ppm. I order them online and use at home. Each test takes 25 minutes and it is the most accurate home test I have found.  I am aware that gluten-free labeling indicates that a food has under 20,000 ppm of gluten according to FDA standards.     I have heard discussions about Bob’s Red Mill not conforming to the certified gluten-free certified symbol but continued to use their own gluten-free symbol. I have not done my own deep dive on this topic  -yet! Largely because I have eaten Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oats and Gluten Free flours of all kinds for years with no reaction. So I trusted their label. This is the first time I have had a reaction to a Bob’s Red Mill product.    I am curious to read more and learn more if anyone knows about Bob’s Red Mill testing practices.    thanks for your help and interest, Janet

      All of these comments support what I've experienced for years -- just about anything in a package is suspect for gluten no matter how much the label trumpets its gluten-free status. And that includes foods that are labeled "certified gluten-free." A while back I was especially disappointed with nuts.com products -- after I had a reaction. As a result, I've gone through several periods when my celiac symptoms (which include significant cognitive issues, nervous system problems and arteriosclerosis) have led me to eat nothing out of a package and have cooked everything from scratch. Even today, the only nuts I eat are those I buy in the shell, crack open myself and cook. I have had too many bad experiences with nuts that I didn't prepare this way.

      I think in the UAE you may have access to pistachios, cashews and coconut. All would be packed with calory and nutrient dense. Cashews especially, are both high in fat and higher in carbs than most other nuts.
