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.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
