I Love Candy Corn

OK, so I started bringing out my Fall decorations and now I'm getting my usual annual craving for candy corn! Brach's used to be the only brand I really liked and realize that they can't guarantee it's gluten-free. I checked the history for this topic and the latest it's been brought up was about 2 years ago. Does anyone know if anything's changed? I live in the Midwest - what brand of cc is just as good as Brach's but safe to eat?

Thanks!

As of last fall, Target brand was safe as well, and it's also quite good.

I was at Target this past weekend and they did not have their brand of candy corn this year. I'm not sure if it was just not out yet, but all of the Halloween section was set and no candy corn but Brachs. Im in upstate NY. My 5 yr old was bummed!! I'll look for the Walmart brand..HTH

It seems like Target didn't put out there brand of Candy Corn this year. I combed the aisles with my daughter and son yesterday, no luck. Just Brachs.

Bummer.

p.s. we are in northern mass.

I am in Michigan and I only found fancy little bags of Target brand candy corn this year. It is flavored and colored differently than traditional candy corn - like mango with something and pink or lemonade and something and purple. I bought some because it was Target brand but it does say that it shares equipment with peanuts and other stuff. I am going to tell my daughter that she can only have a couple (I got them for a school project). I have not tried Wal-Mart this year. Wasn't up to the drive. Wishing you luck!

Hi.

Jelly Belly candy corn is supposed to be gluten free too. Probably a bit pricey though.

I, too, am a candy corn fiend. Mmmmm! :P

omg, i don't care about the price, i'm getting me some of that!

PS I just checked amazon, and they only have it in bulk. jelly belly's website has 9 oz bags for $5.99 and 16 oz for $8.99. Just FYI :)

Hey! What candy list? This is crucial information. I'm mostly off sugar but if I fall off the wagon I want to fall gluten free.

Hello.

I just called Jelly Belly's 1-800 number and the lady said the candy corn is gluten free. She added that they make it with corn starch.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...
