Are Most Marshmellows Gluten-free?

[Esther Sparhawk]

We've found a good gluten-free graham cracker, but I'm not sure if marshmellows are usually gluten-free or not. I've read some labels, but haven't called any companies yet. So far, just reading labels, they seem to say "modified food starch" a lot.

Can anybody tell me what brands of gluten-free marshmellows they have used safely?

Searching the board came up with several results for Marshmallows.....here is just one of the many:

I use Kraft (will clearly label gluten) marshmellows and Health Valley Rice Bran crackers (it states the ingredients are gluten-free on the package). The Rice Bran cracker is harder and smaller than a traditional graham cracker. But for smores I like them. They also make a great crust.

I thought I was safe with marshmellows - not so! They made me very sick.

When I read the ingredients label I found that they had wheat starch - probably to stop them sticking together in the package.

Now I make my own marshmellow.

Problem solved.

Thanks everyone.

Ruth52, can you tell me which brand made you sick? I keep a list of "What Annie Can Eat" and a "What Annie Can't Eat" on my fridge. I'd like to add the brand you experienced problems with to our "Can't Eat" list, if that's not too much trouble.

Sorry you got sick. I hate to take advantage of that, but I drop all social restrictions when it comes to my child!

Thanks again to everyone who replied.
