Got Really Sick This Afternoon

Sorry, I did not realise that you were in Canada (even though it clearly says it in your profile under your username...)

I've never heard of most of those candies and there is the possiblity that their processing is different there than in the U.S..

Loribelle, Reese's minis are gluten free.

OH YIPPEEEE!!! Thanks so much! I'm going to have one right now in celebration!

It's the simple things that make me sooo happy.

Sorry for all the questions, but do you know if the Hershey mini bags of Kissables and Reeses Peices are gluten-free? I just bought two big bags of those (at 75% off!)..

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

In Australia... Snickers is definatly not gluten free, contains wheat flour here... sigh...

GAH! How on earth did I miss that? I got one last week, read the label and must have completely skipped it. Think I will just stick to stuff marked gluten free.

btw- M&ms in Australia are a no, no. Wheat starch or flour used in the shells.

I think the candies themselves are fine, provided they are the same size and shape as the regular product I see no reason why they'd be prepared any differently. The only possible problem is the packaging and whether or not gluten is present when these things are being bagged. The candies that are not packaged in fun-sized bags for Halloween are marked as safe on the lists I've seen.

interesting topic....my 5 year old is hyper sensitive to gluten and so far she has not had a problem with the snickers minis. Not discounting any one elses experiences but that's been ours.

In my research I found the same as others, the official statment is that the minis are gluten free. What is NOT gluten free are the popables. Those are the round little bite size balls in the stand up bags.
