Does anybody know if hershey's chocolate kisses have gluten in them? I know the plain milk chocolate kisses are gluten free, but what about the others? Especially the white and milk chocolate HUGS (Those are my favorites :P ). Can't wait for your replies so I can start eating chocolate! :D

You will have to read the label. But you should know that any Hershey products that list "natural flavor", the company will not disclose the source. So there is no way to determine whether products that list "natural flavors" are gluten free or not.

I personally don't support companies who support their suppliers, rather than the people who buy their products.

Dove doesn't make "hugs" but you can get small bags of several varieties at WalMart for $2-3. My personal preference is the dark chocolates. :P

Ditto. I read about a test "they" did to see which chocolate was the one better for you and dove dark was high on the list, even higher than some of the bars at the health food store. But who knows how accurate it was. :huh:

"They" only tested like 10 kinds.

Don't eat the Hershey little bar assortments. They will not guarantee that they are gluten free. Regular size Hershey bars are fine. All this is assuming you can have dairy? If you are newly diagnosed sometimes you find that dairy is a problem as well for a while. If that should happen don't despair--there are great dairy-free dark chocolates you could have too.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!
