[anerissara]

I've been looking for a gluten-free strawberry milk mix to use in a cake...here's Nestle's response to my email. They included a gluten-free list that is helpful:

Dear Nestlé Consumer,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us about Nestlé® Nesquik® strawberry and chocolate. We welcome questions and comments from loyal consumers such as yourself and appreciate this opportunity to assist you.

We have read your email and researched your inquiry. Our Nestlé Nesquik No Sugar Added variety, Nesquik Strawberry flavor, Nesquik Very Vanilla, Nesquik Double Chocolate and Nesquik 67oz Chocolate are produced on a line that also produces a product that contains gluten. For this reason, we are unable to say that those products are 100% Gluten free, as there may be a chance of cross contamination.

However, our Nesquik Chocolate flavored powder in 15, 30, and 56 ounce sizes are 100% Gluten free.

There are eight major food allergens, including milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (such as walnuts and almonds), soy, wheat, fish and shellfish. Regulations on food labels require that all ingredients be listed on the label’s ingredient statement. Nestlé USA ensures that when any of these eight allergens are present in our products - no matter how much is included or whether a supplier may have added it - we note it on the label. We see it as our responsibility to ensure that these ingredients are properly labeled by their common name in the ingredient statement.

We appreciate your interest in our products and hope you will visit our website often for the latest information on our products and promotions.

Thanks for this ! I didn't know that O'Henry was gluten free

God bless you for doing this--and so close to the holidays, too.

Shirley, Canadian Oh Henrys are made by Hershey (and have no gluten containing ingredients). I don't know about manufacturing procedures, though.

Your right! I just snuck into hubby's chocolate hidey place and noticed that they are made by Hershey. How odd. Have you tried them? I used to love them. Maybe I'll work up the nerve to try one as I don't see any problem with the label.

Thank you so much! I came on the board specifically to find out if I can have a hot cocoa this morning with my kids and we happen to have Nestle brand. YAY!
