See's Chocolate Candy (e-mail From Them)

[kibou]

Someone was nice enough to remind me of these forums and I wanted to forward an updated letter from See's Candy (I don't know about you but I was a bit frustrated finding a heart valentine without gluten! I found ONE and it was completely inedible from walmart and I had to return it.)

If you don't have a See's its a fairly older chocolates store such as a godiva shop ect.

Thank you for visiting Sees.com. Our Quality Assurance department has

advised that we have recently reformulated our products and we have

eliminated wheat as a direct ingredient in all of our candies.

Therefore, none of our products contain gluten as a direct ingredient

and cross-contamination is no longer a possibility.

We do wish to advise that our Malt Truffle contains malt powder and the

vinegar used in our Butterscotch Lollypops and Little Pops is grain

based.

We are still in the process of changing our packaging labels and expect

to have this completed during the upcoming year. Some of our product

labels still list wheat as an ingredient. However, this is no longer

the case.

I hope this information is helpful. Thanks for your interest in See's

Candies. We look forward to serving you soon.

Sincerely,

Ian Dickie

Thank you so much for posting this. I contacted See's a couple years ago and found their gluten-free list to be very short. This is good news.

That is great news! I was just sitting at work looking at the ing. list for a box of Whitmans chocolates which are made in factory which contains wheat amongst other things, and was wondering about See's because they are my favorate chocolates, my family has them every holiday. Thanks!
