Whatchamacallits

[Lauren M]

I saw a Whatchamacallit the other day and remembered that they used to be my favorite candy bar. For those who are unfamiliar, it's chocolate covered, has PB and caramel, and crispy rice. It's made by Hershey and the ingredients LOOKED ok to me... does anyone eat them? Does anyone know if they are gluten-free? The only thing I worried about was the crispy rice, but it doesn't say anything about malt in the ingredients.

Thanks!

last I checked the crispy rice had malt in it......however if that's no longer true, then I can eat my fav. candy bar again!

Malt extract can have <20ppm or >20ppm depending upon how it is processed. I think your confidence level needs to be changed subject to test results.

You are responding to a post that is over 10 years old.  Product info may have changed in that period of time.

Is this an automated response or am I missing something?

No.  But you brought  up a very old topic (2006) and I wanted people that might now see it, to know that product info on it might be out of date.  You can post new info, that's OK.

 

In the US, malt is not  considered gluten free as a general rule.
