Gushers Fruit Snacks?

The ingredients look safe - but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure. If not, are there any other fruit snacks that are gluten free?

Good question! I've eaten them several times and never had a reaction, but I'm not 100% certain.

My son loves the Florida's Natural fruit snacks (OK, me too). They all have a high percentage of fruit/fruit juice in them. We especially love the sour strings. These snacks actually say gluten free on the package and I made sure to write them and thank them for it. The only place I have found them so far is Target.

Their website is located at ausomesnacknaturally.com.

Gushers is a General Mills company, and they will list their gluten.

Thanks!

Appreciate all the input. I'm going to Target this week - I'll take a look for those fruit snacks, too!

The only General Mills fruit snacks that I have found to have gluten are the "Twistables" that are like licorice and also there are some roll-up ones called Air-Head Extremes that are listed as containing wheat. We do not buy the Gushers anymore, but not because of gluten it was for dental reasons!

My kids had a LOT of dental problems before going gluten free and all of them had mouths full of temporary crowns on their baby teeth from so much damage due to the weakened enamel. The gushers were so much more sticky than the regular fruit snacks and my kids kept popping off their crowns! Their dentist is 45 minutes away and I will not allow them to eat the gushers. We do allow all falvors of the General Mills Fruit Roll Ups and Fruit by the Foot, and all of the shapes. A lot of Kellogg's fruit snacks are gluten free too. My kids love the Yogos and the Yogos Rollers.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and...

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see...
