Sugar Free Hershey's And Reeses Pb Cups

Hi all,

In my quest to go sugar free, I picked up some Hershey's miniatures (plain chocolate) and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (mini's) - both sugar free. Hershey's ingredients are: Lacticol (Milk); Chocolate; Cocoa butter; polydexrose; cream (milk); milkfat; contains 2% or less of : soy lecithin; PGPR (Emulsifier); Artificial Flavor; and sucralose. The PB Cups are: Lacticol (Milk); peauts; chocolate; cocoa butter; cornstarch; peanut oil; milkfat; contains 2% or less of: polydextrose; partially hydorgenated soybean and cottonseed oils; salt; cream (milk); soy lecithin and PGPR, emulsifiers; natural and artificial flavor; TBHQ (Preservative); and sucralose.

What do you think? Are they gluten-free? I know the regular ones are. Or should I just contact the company? I thought I'd give the board a try, just in case someone had already contacted them.

Thanks!

Brenda

Hershey does not hide gluten so if it has wheat, rye or barley it will clearly say so. Same with Kraft and a host of other companies. According to the ingredients you listed, these are gluten-free.

Someone gave me a white chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and I just got off the phone with them. They are gluten free. The representative was very nice and explained what anything I couldn't identify came from.

Hey,

Before even receiving a reply from anyone, I ate them. No reaction from gluten! I was pretty sure they were gluten-free according to the ingredients, but I'm such a newbie....I was just so SCARED!!! :lol:

Anyway, they are actually pretty good. Definitely not the real thing....but good. It makes me feel like I've had some chocolate anyway. :)

Thanks for the replies!!

Does this only apply to sugar free? I just ate a regular reese PB cup. I'll have to get the wrapper out of the trash to see.

From what I can see, the regular reeses PB cups are fine. I hope im right.

I thought the regular kind of reeses peanut butter cups were gluten-free.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
