At CVS I got some free "M&M Premiums" with the Mocha flavor. Tried looking around online to see if they are gluten free to no avail. And the number to call is done at 5, but I kind of want to eat them now! Has any one tried this or know if they are okay? It says it may contain almonds and peanuts, but nothing about gluten free.

Anyone? *eyes them* I want to eat them lol.

Hershey's will not disclose their source for "Natural Flavor", which means that it might contain barley or malt. Your M&M's might be gluten free, but there is no way of knowing unless you either get sick or not. You might find it's a risk your willing to take ;)

Do you mind if I ask where you got this information? I contacted Hershey recently and asked them about their labeling policy in regards to gluten. This was their (obviously canned) response:

Our product label includes an accurate listing of the ingredients in our products. However, on occasion, the list of ingredients can change. We encourage you to check the ingredient label on the package before you make a purchase. This label provides accurate, current information about all the ingredients in the package.

I would have to dig into the archives of this forum to find the documentation, but I contacted a Hershey representative. I personally do not think the M&M's contain gluten (although I am not familiar with the Mocha M&M's), but I am dismayed with the response I received from Hershey and prefer not to purchase their products.

I stumbled on this old topic while looking for something else, but wanted to respond because there is confusion here.

M&Ms are made by Mars, not by Hershey, and are, if I recall correctly, gluten-free.

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
