Toffifay

[eatmeat4good]

I got a box of Toffifay for my B-Day. I have eaten it a few times in my 7 months gluten free.

I popped one in my mouth as I turned the box over to read as it has never had wheat in it before.

This box says contains glucose syrup from wheat or corn.

So I didn't eat any more.

But I didn't feel sick and never have from them.

I don't wanna give up this treat.

But I want to be safe.

Does anyone eat them?

I googled and find some sites say they are gluten free because the amt. of gluten is far below allowable leves.

Is this just a CYA statement?

Can I eat my Toffifay?

Opinions please

I think I just answered my own question.

I'm eating them.

Want to know if anyone else does?

They are delicious.

Shelly Case said glucose syrup even if derived from wheat is gluten free.

Wha Hoo!

Happy Birthday And what is Toffifay???

Oh my gosh...it is a yummy wonderful little candy made by the Storck Company of Germany.

It is shaped like a half circle...and it has a super thin caramel shell filled with chocolate cream with one whole hazelnut inside and dollop of dark chocolate on top. It's all the good stuff wrapped in one bite.

Melts in your mouth and warms your soul.

Hope you can find it there!

Oh! just great! Another, super delicious, full fat & calorie gluten-free treat!

I'm actually happy for you, it's me who doesn't need to know about these.

Happy Birthday, a day late. Glad you were able to enjoy. I'll have to grab some of those next I shop as they sound really good.

Thanks Ravenwood!

Go get yourself a box for Mother's Day!

They are in Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and even 7-Elevens!

That's my favorite and you will love them. Hope you tell me bout your reaction...

to the chocolate treasure I mean!

It actually says they contain wheat in the allergy information section, but I think the wheat protein is not present. If I hadn't been given them, I wouldn't have bought them, with wheat being on the label. I'm glad I researched. Apparently in Europe they often process their glucose syrup from wheat....but the gluten is gone by the time it reaches the end product.

That is what I'm believing until someone posts that they got sick from Toffifay!!

Thanks for letting me know about that. Actually I think I will pass on these personally. I know they say that the gluten is gone by the time all the processing is done but they say the same about distilled gluten grains and I definately react to those. May not effect all of us but for me they are out.
