Does anyone know if the new Skittles Smoothie mix is gluten-free? Hubby brought them home last night so I can't call company to find out. I would love to use these in the kids Easter baskets. The colors are so pretty!!

Thanks

Cali

According to the Master Foods automated line, all Skittles products are gluten-free, but def. read the labels, if anything looks suspicious (Like OBVIOUS gluten) then don't... Master Foods is one company that will not hide gluten in the artificial flavors or anything, so if Wheat, Barley, Rye, or Oats are not on the label, it's safe

Skittles makes a smoothie mix?! I think the idea of smoothie mixes is kinda silly in the first place, but ... wow... is there anything in it other than whey and sugar?! ;-P (Yeah, yeah, I'm being something of a smartass... :P )

I loooove skittles. I am a personal fan of the Wild Berry variety. The new "ice cream" ones are really gross.

Not a fan of the smoothie mix either.

Are the sour ones gluten-free also? I've always loved those, but they sure do tear your mouth up.

I just bought some skittles today. I got the original ones. Are all of them gluten-free?

I know the original ones are (just so you can eat them right now!) ha. But I'm only pretty sure the others are gluten-free/cf too.

I'm happy with the orginal ones :) Actually I'm really excited, but I may start craving the other flavours. I'm going to eat them right now! Yay!

I haven't been deprived of treats or anything :ph34r:

Well I've tried the Skittles and I didn't get sick :D I'm always nervous for about 12 hours after trying a new product.

Well if I didn't react to them, then they must be safe. I am super sensitive; therefore, I'm the perfect guinea pig!

Can you try those Purely Vanilla bars for me? Just kidding, I'll try them myself and the Skittles. I am so excited about these new snacks.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
