Is Nesquik Gluten-free?

I live in the UK and I can't for the life of me find anything about gluten on the packaging. It has glucose syrup in it which apparently can sometimes be made of wheat.

I mean Nesquik milkshake powder.

Does anyone have any idea and is it safer for me to chuck it?

Thanks

According to the Clan Thompson Food Smartlist, Newquik Syrup (all flavors) and ready-to-drink milk (all flavors) ARE GLUTEN FREE. No mention of the powder. Clan Thompson generally is relevant to both Canada and US, but not UK necessarily.

Here's the info from the Nestle/Nesquik homepage on the powder. It APPEARS to be gluten-free and this is their Global/International Site and talks about Swiss stuff too.

INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, COCOA PROCESSED WITH ALKALI, SOY LECITHIN, SALT, ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL FLAVORS, MALTODEXTRIN.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS: CALCIUM CARBONATE, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), ZINC OXIDE, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), COPPER GLUCONATE, MANGANESE SULFATE, BIOTIN.

MADE ON EQUIPMENT THAT ALSO PROCESSES MILK AND SOY.

I don't even know, what Nesquik milkshake powder is, never even heard of it. And I'm an absolute Nesquik fan. I drank it in Germany, while still living there, and now here. I only know about the syrup and the chocolate milk and strawberry milk drink from Nesquik.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      So, as I understand this, there is uncertainty as to how much the gluten protein has to be degraded before it is safe and doesn't cause a reaction. There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem with other "gluten free" products made from wheat starch such as certain pizza brands.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Rather than create a new thread, I thought I would post to this one as it is on topic. The paper linked below is quite comprehensive regarding the state of knowledge of the safety of hydrolysed barley gluten. The final section gives a good summary. Barley based gluten free beer – A blessing or an uncontrollable risk?

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By MegRCxx · Posted

      I started eating gluten free about a month before my test results came through and i was starting to feel a little better but still the off flare ups. I recieved the diagnosis at the beginning of September and they have supplied me with a nutritionist mid october. I am only eating gluten free foods and am so careful but i just seem to still always feel like crap.    i feel fine after breakfast but as soon as ive had lunch i feel crap for the rest of the day. Stomach hurts to apply any pressure, fatigue, mood swings and its getting to me at the moment.   i used to be a head pastry chef and thought id always had that to fall back on but the not being able to eat everything i love and worrying about cross contamination has taken a massive toll. There is only so much you can do with coeliac and i just dont know how to feel better. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By larc · Posted

      Yes cooking everything from scratch has helped vanquish my symptoms. As for tips on managing a busy schedule and preparing fresh food -- I try to steam a lot of fresh vegetables most evenings so I have food in the fridge for a day or two. But I still have to do a lot of shopping since I buy so much fresh fruits and vegetables. Still, no matter how much you plan or set up a routine, food preparation to cope with my celiac still requires a serious time commitment.

      Has anyone ever had Low Ferritin with Elevated MCHC levels?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @cristiana, I'm glad your A1Cs have come back as normal!   Penicillin based antibiotics like flucloxacillin can deplete thiamine, but low thiamine won't cause high mchc.  But SIBO bacteria will take advantage of low thiamine and all those oats to become overgrown.  SIBO bacteria can interfere with iron and B12 absorption and may cause high mchc.   Certainly a head scratcher!  Hope the test results come soon so you can get this figured out! Keep us posted!
