Made In A Facility With Wheat? And Kisses

[HopeMum]

I have asked our dietician about products made in a plant that processes wheat on food labelling. She stated this was voluntary and meaningless and if wheat/gluten containing products were not included in the ingredient list it could be considered safe.

I still don't feel able to give these products to my child, she's only 2 and so not able to describe how she's feeling.

Anyone have any experience to share on products made in same plant etc...

Also, is Hershey's chocolate gluten-free?

Thank you

This is a personal choice. Some very sensitive celiacs may respond to the chance of possible cross contamination during the manufacturing process. Frito/Lay products mentioned here frequently, although some contain no gluten, many here react.

On the other hand, it often is a CYA statement. Due to the fact that many companies do not have the resources to TEST for gluten, therefore they cannot say, that there is no gluten in the product due to possible cross contamination

Considering your daughter is so young and unable to speak for herself, I would error on the side of safety and not use those product that are produced in a facility that also produces wheat products.

My son (11) and I both react badly to products processed in a facility that also processes wheat. I have learned to steer clear of these.
