I wonder what's wrong with the Reese's seasonal shapes. Is it a CC issue? DH bought me a pretty large Reese's PB bunny and the ingredients look fine.

Birdie - the seasonal shaped ones in the past did contain wheat for some holidays. I always thought it may be needed to mold them into the shape.

I always check the label before eating a seasonal PB cup and recently they do not include wheat.

The Hershey website does state this list is not all inclusive and that other items could be gluten free. I assume they didn't want to go into the details to which season shaped ones are ok or not so they just listed it this way.

As always read the label.

Yep, just read the ingredients. The Easter ones, at least the ones I saw, seemed to be fine.

Do they label cross-contamination too?

For those that do, it's not a label for cross contamination. It's a disclaimer that there MAY be a possibility for cross contact, through processing. Only the truly super sensitives would be susceptible.

Oh, so Hershey's says "May contain x" and "y was processed with x"? Or is it one or the other?

I suppose it wouldn't be the case that Hershey's would label "May contain x" since they do make non-gluten containing candies. Is that a true deduction?

Thank you for this post. I can't imagine having to give up Hershey's!!! I got nervous thinking maybe I'd been eating them when I shouldn't have :)

Any response to this?

      Hello all,  I used the Elisa Technology test by EZ Gluten. It is PTM sm certified and tests down to 10,000ppm. I order them online and use at home. Each test takes 25 minutes and it is the most accurate home test I have found.  I am aware that gluten-free labeling indicates that a food has under 20,000 ppm of gluten according to FDA standards.     I have heard discussions about Bob’s Red Mill not conforming to the certified gluten-free certified symbol but continued to use their own gluten-free symbol. I have not done my own deep dive on this topic  -yet! Largely because I have eaten Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oats and Gluten Free flours of all kinds for years with no reaction. So I trusted their label. This is the first time I have had a reaction to a Bob’s Red Mill product.    I am curious to read more and learn more if anyone knows about Bob’s Red Mill testing practices.    thanks for your help and interest, Janet

      All of these comments support what I've experienced for years -- just about anything in a package is suspect for gluten no matter how much the label trumpets its gluten-free status. And that includes foods that are labeled "certified gluten-free." A while back I was especially disappointed with nuts.com products -- after I had a reaction. As a result, I've gone through several periods when my celiac symptoms (which include significant cognitive issues, nervous system problems and arteriosclerosis) have led me to eat nothing out of a package and have cooked everything from scratch. Even today, the only nuts I eat are those I buy in the shell, crack open myself and cook. I have had too many bad experiences with nuts that I didn't prepare this way.

      I think in the UAE you may have access to pistachios, cashews and coconut. All would be packed with calory and nutrient dense. Cashews especially, are both high in fat and higher in carbs than most other nuts.

      Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc and B vitamins.  One of the first successful treatments for Celiac Disease used banana as the main carbohdrate energy source. quick, easily digestible energy, easier on sensitive stomachs and offer more potassium, which can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.”   I clean and separate the banana from the bunch and store in the refrigerator.  The outside peel may turn color, even black, but the banana inside does not get overripe so they can last a long time.

      I only intend to do the blood screen. I also fully intend to remove gluten from my diet whether the test is positive or negative.  I’d just like to know, even if it’s inconclusive, if Celiac might be the cause my life-long gastrointestinal distress. If the test is positive, I’ll assume that I probably have Celiac, like my sister. If it’s negative, I’ll assume that I may have a gluten intolerance/allergy — or not.  My quest will end there. My belly problems don’t render my life insufferable. My sister’s diagnosis (positive blood and biopsy) just made me curious whether I have Celiac, too. Either way, I’m done with gluten as soon as I give the blood sample on Wednesday 👍🏼
