Does Chocolate Martini Mix Have Gluten?

[mythreesuns]

It says it contains the following:

Triple filtered water

Cane sugar

Chocolate extract

Natural flavors

Lactic acid

Pectin

Carmel color

How do I know if there's gluten in it? I reeeeeeeally want a chocolate martini! LOL

i'd call the company because there are some red-flags in the ingredients.

Aww, boogers!

I already tried that and they're closed for the night. No info on the website either.

Ah, well...guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow night for my chocolate martini!

Yay!!!! It has no gluten in it!!!

I called the company this morning, a cheery young woman said, "All of our products are gluten-free."

I was like, "And you know this...how?"

And she proceeded to read a statement (obviously they've had this question before LOL) that said they use no gluten or other allergen-containing ingredients in their production facilities. Some products (not the one I was asking about) are produced in a facility that does produce things with allergens in it, but it is cleaned between products. Very sensitive individuals should be aware of the risk of cross-contamination for those products, but the martini mixes are produced in a facility that does NOT handle allergens so they're safe!

YAY!!!!

Chocolate martini, anyone?

It's called Stirrings. They have a website (stirrings.com) where you can see everything they have. I got it at Whole Foods.

Thank you for letting us know. I had just discovered chocolate martinis before going gluten-free and thought I couldn't have them any more. I'm going to Whole Foods today.
