Hershey's Irish Creme Kisses?

Someone gave us a lot of Hershey's Irish Creme kisses at Christmas and I keep forgetting to ask if anyone knows if they are gluten-free or not? The kids are bugging me about them, so I googled it and looked it up on the forums and I'm not finding much on it. The website doesn't even have these listed.

We don't have the bag, they were given with some other things.

Anyone have experience with them? If not, they are going to my husband's co-workers. Thanks!

i wss glutoned by the candy cane kisses....so i would be very wary about the irish creme ones. a lot of candy and choc companies put gluten free on their packages but hershey's is not able to make that claim. i probably would give them away if i were you.

Thanks! I probably will, unless I hear something different today. I hesitate to eat Hershey's, but I do let them have the regular kisses. I read that the mint truffle kisses were okay, and found a gluten-free recipe using them, but like I said above, haven't been able to find anything about the Irish creme.

Neither the candy cane nor the irish cream kisses actually have gluten in them. Cross contamination might be an issue but the ingrediants do not contain gluten! hope this helps!

I eat Hershey kisses of various sorts with no problems.

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A typical CYA response--since they don't label it that way they don't test for gluten, thus can't guarantee it's gluten-free, even though no gluten ingredients are used in the product.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I understand your immense frustration after 17 years of excellent management; it's incredibly disorienting to have your numbers spike without a clear cause or physical symptoms. Given your thorough investigation, the Crunchmaster crackers are a very plausible culprit, despite their certification. Certification ensures gluten is below 20ppm, but if you are consuming them daily, even that tiny amount could theoretically accumulate over time to cause an immune response (elevated IgG) without triggering your acute symptomatic response (which is often IgA-mediated). Since your son, the perfect control subject, doesn't eat them, this is an excellent hypothesis to test. I would recommend a strict elimination trial: remove the crackers completely for 4-6 weeks and then re-test your IgG levels. If the numbers drop significantly, you have your answer. Other less obvious sources to consider if the crackers aren't to blame include any other new packaged goods (spices, nuts, chocolate, supplements), a change in the recipe of a trusted product, or even lipstick or toothpaste. Your methodical approach is exactly what will solve this mystery.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:
