What Makes Reeses Pb Cups Non-gf?

If emulsifiers and stabilizers are gluten-free, then I am truly perplexed as to why Reeses Peanutbutter Cups are no longer gluten-free. Am I wrong? - PLEASE TELL ME I'M WRONG - I really miss those things ! I read the ingrediets for the heck of it while waiting in a checkout line, and, well, I think I'm pretty good at reading labels now, and I couldn't find anything that would make it gluten-filled. The only thing I didn't know about was the 'emulsifiers'.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,

-donna (craving a reeses at this very moment -gotta love pregnancy!)

When did they change? I know they at least were gluten-free--if they aren't still. Yeah--very sure they are gluten-free.

I sure hope they didn't change if they did do you know when they changed? I haven't had them for about 4 months but last I knew they were gluten-free.

The last time I spoke to someone from the CSA, I was told that they were taking the peanut butter cups off the gluten-free list b/c they were no longer gluten-free. She didn't specify why.

I still have their 800# - I didn't even think to call. I don't know if they are open on weekends, but I'll give them a try......

nope M-F, 9-5....shoot! Btw, the # is 1-877-272-4272 is anyone is interested - they put out a gluten-free listing of mainstream products every year. Don't know if the new edition is even out yet though, as they went to congress around the time they normally publish it.

I'll let you know Monday when I call, unless someone here can enlighten me in the mean time. If they ARE gluten-free, 'll be at the corner store in no time!

Thanks,

They are gluten-free.

I ignore the CSA. They're the ones who once told us to avoid annatto and also fought against the food-labeling bill. Their current president tried to torpedo the bill at the last minute.

They are gluten-free because I eat them everyday and I haven't gotten sick yet...

That's great I thought they were gluten-free but I was getting scared for a minute there. I'm glad they are gluten-free. :D

I eat them all the time, I never get a reaction. I have read on more than one list that they are gluten-free....

I eat them quite a bit as well. I haven't heard anything about them being removed from the Gluten Free list :o I sure hope not! They really are handy when one is stuck in town without lunch :D

I have always avoided them based on the fact that a year ago, some Reeses packages listed wheat where others did not. Since then I haven't felt comfortable trusting their labeling. Maybe they were not gluten-free last year and now are, I don't know for sure.

Regular Reese's PB cups have been gluten-free since I was diagnosed more than three years ago. That's never changed. There are different flavors and I think at least once contains cookies type pieces, but that's plainly listed.

I called on these quite a while ago and was told they were gluten-free. Have been eating them for about 3 years with no problem until recently. However, I think I'm developing a reaction to peanuts and peanut butter. I get blisters on the end of my nose, around the nostrils...really strange place whenever I eat peanuts or peanut butter anymore.

I LOVE Reese cups, too :o(

I guess the particular Reeces that mentioned wheat must've been that cookie kind, then, because it was definitley on the ingredients. I didn't even notice they made that type of reeces.

I remember looking at one of the bags for the miniature ones that they usually sell at holidays (and also year round...) and seeing wheat flour listed as an ingredient!

The mini ones usually only have wheat in them at holidays. I always check before buying and only encountered it at holiday time.

I found some small heart shaped reeses pb at valentines day that had wheat flour in them. They were wrapped in the foil, not the plastic. Just teaches us that we ALWAYS need to read labels!! Hershey is a company where I feel very confident reading their labels and knowing if I can have the food.

I knew I must have seen that somewhere...so there IS wheat flour on their labels from time to time...that's why I avoid them altogether. I figure there must be a pretty big chance of cross contamination going on there if that's the case.

I have never seen it on their big ones and I don't think they could be made on the same lines as the little ones.

The big ones are fine, the ones you have to be worried about are the varriations on the big ones like minis and holiday ones, I eat the big ones everyday w/out any problem

Guest gillian502

When I can, I'll give them a call and question the cross-contamintion issue, and ask if they are run on dedicated lines. If I hear anything I'll let you all know.:) You've got me curious now.

Below is a site that has a list of gluten-free foods/candies etc.. I didn't see Reese Peanut butter cups on it. I'll investigate further.

Dianegf,

The list on celiac.com for candies is very incomplete. It merely gives you an idea of what's gluten-free--a couple candies for starters, but there are many far more extensive lists of gluten-free candy because really there's so much of it that we can have. Around Halloween, I got a list from Jessica's USA Silly Yaks support group that was extremely long--then I realized what a variety we really can have.

I wonder if the white chocolate ones are gluten-free..those are my FAVE.

Reese's are made by Hershey's so gluten will be clearly listed on the label. Thus, for all PB cups, and the white chocolate ones you inquired about, just read the label :)

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
