Altoids

[jams]

I was waiting for my daughter to get out of school today when I decided to read the ingredients in Altoiods. Much to my suprise they are made in NJ and have wheat maltodextrin listed!! I was very sad because I love the small ones! I haven't checked the larger ones, but steer clear of the small Altoids.

I contacted them awhile ago and the larger (original) peppermint ones

are gluten-free.

I cked on the sours earlier this year and they said they are gluten-free.

Altoids is a Kraft brand and will list wheat,rye,barley,oats on the label if it contains any.

Yep, I was disappointed they added those to the small ones, but very happy that they clearly labeled them. At least we don't have to wonder!

I could be wrong, but i think i read somewhere that their gum is not gluten-free too.

Ironically, the cinnamon flavor is gluten-free (or was the last time I had it) but the peppermint is not. Wacky, I think.

Oh dear, I eat a ton of wintergreen altoids and I just assumed (stupid i know) that they are gluten-free. (because I read that Altoids were so I thought it meant all altoids) I guess I better go read the label.

Wow, thanks for the info on the Altoids gum...........I've been eating the reg sized mints for years now, but couldn't figure out why I got sick on the gum when I tried it.
