Nestle Hot Coco Mix Not Longer Gluten Free!?

Nestle Hot Coco Mix not longer Gluten Free!?

I just purchased a few new boxes of Nestle Hot Coco Mix with mini marshmallows, a favorite in my house. When I got home I noticed the 100% GLUTEN FREE was gone, and now it says " made on equipment that also processes soy and wheat"

All my old boxes contain the same ingredients and have the 100% GLUTEN FREE printed on the box

I have already contacted Nestle and told them I will not be buying anymore of there products.

Can anyone recommend a good gluten free hot coco mix?

Please see the entirety of this very recent thread: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=54232

When I called, they informed me that nothing has changed except the labeling.

Processed on lines that have something does not, by default, mean that it is contaminated.

I am so mad I could cry. After reading this post I just can't believe that they can say 100 percent gluten free when it isn't. I have been VERY sick for the last month. I have had severe abdominal pains and diarrhea at least 9 days this month so far. My doctor has had me on 3 different medicines and I even had to have a CT scan to try to find out why. CT was ok, blood work was a little off but ok. I could not figure out what I possibly could have done to make myself so sick because I am so careful. Then this morning I see this post and about fall out of my chair. I have been drinking this stuff at night to try to settle my tummy for about the last few weeks. I was so excited when I read the can and saw 100 percent gluten free. I am at a loss. All the time and money and I did this to myself unintentionally.

I accidentally posted this on the OTHER Nestle thread referenced here... I meant to put it in this thread. Sorry for the cross-post.

=========================================================

Try Stephen's Gourmet Hot Cocoa. It's labeled "Gluten Free" and it is delicious. And less expensive (oz for oz) than Nestle, at least at my local Winco.

I don't know about possible cc issues with them, although I have sent an inquiry through their website, and will post when I hear back. I am not a super-sensitive Celiac so the fact that I haven't had a problem with it probably is not a good benchmark for others to follow.

Guittard also makes a "Drinking Chocolate" but it's fairly spendy and I've never seen it in the store. It can be ordered on their website:

According to the FAQ at guittard.com, they do not produce any gluten-containing products in their factory. I bought some of their butterscotch chips at the store the other day. They've got a to-die-for-looking butterscotch brownie recipe on their website that I'm going to try using rice flour as a substitute.

I avoid Nestle for reasons of conscience anyway, so I've been on the lookout for alternative-hot-cocoa-mixes for a long time.
