Why This Gluten-Free Candy List is Unparalleled and Exceptionally Thorough

Many online gluten-free candy lists offer only a superficial glance, often simply stating a brand name like “Reese’s” without delving into the specifics of different product sizes, seasonal variations, or holiday-themed packaging. This approach can be misleading and potentially unsafe, as ingredient formulations can change based on these distinctions.

Our commitment to your safety and peace of mind sets this guide apart. We’ve gone the extra mile, meticulously examining every flavor, size, and variation of each candy. This rigorous process, which took weeks of dedicated research, ensures that you can confidently check if the exact product you hold in your hand is truly gluten-free, rather than relying on a general assumption. Our goal is to eliminate guesswork and provide a precise, reliable resource for finding delicious gluten-free treats.

It’s astonishing to realize the sheer volume of candy available in America until you undertake the monumental task of identifying each one, scrutinizing its ingredients, and tracing its ownership. While beloved classics like licorice, Kit Kats, and 100 Grand bars do contain wheat, rest assured there’s still an abundance of gluten-free options to explore and enjoy.

Understanding “Gluten-Free”: How Candies Made This List

Our research involved extensive online investigation, but it’s crucial to acknowledge a common challenge: some companies may not explicitly list “may contain” or “manufactured in a facility where XYZ” warnings on their websites as they do on physical product wrappers. To address this, we made every effort to contact each company directly via phone, email, or direct message to ascertain their official stance on gluten and cross-contamination. Any clarification received is integrated into this list to provide you with comprehensive information.

Candies were included on this list even if they carried a “may contain” warning, provided they did not contain any direct gluten-containing ingredients. We understand that individuals have varying levels of sensitivity and comfort. Some strictly adhere to “certified gluten-free” products, while others with gluten intolerance might be comfortable with products that have warnings but no direct gluten ingredients. This list aims to serve both types of consumers, enabling you to make an informed decision in consultation with your healthcare provider.

The spectrum of gluten sensitivity is broad; some individuals experience severe reactions from cross-contamination, while others are less affected by manufacturing processes as long as no overt gluten ingredients are present. Given this diversity, our primary criterion was the absence of any obvious gluten ingredients. However, it is always recommended to consult your doctor regarding your individual circumstances and sensitivity levels. This list serves as a starting point to help you narrow down suitable options, as we cannot provide medical advice or guarantee universal suitability.

For ease of navigation, you’ll find the candies categorized first by company, then by specific brand within each company section.

Who Benefits from a Gluten-Free Diet?

An increasing number of people are adopting a gluten-free diet for various reasons. For some, it’s a medical necessity due to diagnosed conditions like Celiac Disease (also spelled Coeliac Disease). For others, it’s a voluntary lifestyle choice, as they find that eliminating or reducing gluten intake helps them feel healthier and more energetic. Gluten avoidance or limitation is also commonly pursued by individuals managing conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or other health concerns where gluten has been identified as a trigger. Always consult with a doctor or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet to ensure it meets your nutritional needs.

Best Practices for Buying Gluten-Free Candy for Others

If you’re purchasing candy for someone with gluten allergies or sensitivities, especially if you’re unfamiliar with reading gluten-free labels, please exercise caution. It’s always best to communicate with the recipient first. Many individuals, myself included, deeply appreciate it when someone sends a photo of the product label, allowing us to review the ingredients and make our own informed choices. This prevents awkward situations, avoids wasting money on items that can’t be consumed, and, most importantly, ensures no one accidentally falls ill.

Gluten can be present in numerous grains and their derivatives, including: wheat (and its forms like wheatberries, durum, emmer, semolina, spelt, farina, farro, graham, KAMUT, einkorn), rye, barley, triticale, malt, brewer’s yeast, and wheat starch (unless processed to meet FDA standards of less than 20 ppm gluten). If your eyes aren’t trained to spot all these terms, it’s safer to defer to someone who is.

For those managing multiple food allergies, be sure to explore our dedicated allergy-friendly candy list, which specifically addresses the top 8 common allergens.

Dive Into the Delicious List: By Company!

Hershey’s: A Treasure Trove of Gluten-Free Sweets

Hershey’s stands out for its transparency, offering an actual gluten-free list directly on their website – a rare and incredibly helpful resource that eliminates the need to individually inspect products on shelves. While other companies often decline to provide such lists, Hershey’s commitment to clarity is truly commendable. To make this extensive list more manageable, we’ve grouped similar products and detailed their various sizes and holiday editions, adhering to the naming conventions found on Hershey’s official site. This meticulous approach ensures that packaging variations don’t lead to confusion regarding gluten status. It’s worth noting that I manually retyped over four pages of candies from their site, hoping this organized list saves you the same effort! Their website also offers convenient filters for kosher, vegan, plant-based, and organic options.

Their site’s thoroughness is a significant advantage, particularly in confirming that holiday-themed or different-sized packaging doesn’t alter the core recipe. This level of detail, however, results in a substantial list – a testament to the many gluten-free choices Hershey’s offers!

Cadbury

Despite appearing to lack obvious gluten ingredients in some products, no Cadbury items were identified as gluten-free when filtered on Hershey’s website. Direct communication with Hershey’s also verbally confirmed that none of their Cadbury items are considered gluten-free. This suggests that while ingredients might seem clear, manufacturing and processing steps likely introduce cross-contamination, which is a significant disappointment for gluten-free consumers.

Just Born: Peeps, Mike and Ike, and More

Just Born, the company behind many beloved candies, provides the following statement on their website: “We offer many gluten-free products under the MIKE AND IKE®, HOT TAMALES®, PEEPS®, GOLDENBERG’S® PEANUT CHEWS®, TEENEE BEANEE® and JUST BORN® brands and we are in the process of updating package labels to include gluten-free statements where appropriate. The modified food starch that we use in our candies is corn starch. However, because some of our products may be manufactured and/or packaged in a facility that may also handle non-gluten-free products, we encourage consumers to read the labels carefully for the most up-to-date ingredient and allergen information. For further questions, please call our Consumer Relations Team toll-free at 1-888-645-3453.” This transparency is very helpful, though the cross-contamination warning means careful label checking is always advised.

Mars Wrigley: Navigating Their Gluten-Free Stance

Mars Wrigley’s approach to gluten-free labeling, particularly for its chocolate products, can be a source of frustration for consumers. After direct communication with the company (emailed Jan 2024), their official statement was:

“Currently, Mars Wrigley Chocolate products do not have a Gluten-Free claim. If a product includes a gluten-containing ingredient, the ingredient statement will list the gluten source (e.g., wheat, barley, rye, oats). The pack is the most accurate source of information. We recommend that you check the ingredient statement and any allergen statements on the pack each time before consuming our product.

The following is a list of U.S. Mars Wrigley fruity confection, gum and mint products that are currently formulated WITHOUT ingredients containing wheat, oat, rye or barley gluten. Slight changes to product recipes can occur from time to time. ALWAYS check the ingredient label for accurate ingredient composition:

  • Wrigley’s SPEARMINT® gum
  • FREEDENT® gum
  • DOUBLEMINT® gum
  • EXTRA® gum
  • BIG RED® gum
  • ECLIPSE® gum
  • JUICY FRUIT® gum
  • WINTERFRESH® gum
  • Orbit® gum
  • ORBIT® White gum
  • LIFESAVERS®
  • ALTOIDS®
  • 5®
  • SKITTLES® bite size candies
  • STARBURST® fruit chew products

The packaging material directly next to our product does not contain gluten sources. When starches are used on the label around each individual stick of gum, these starches are produced from corn or potatoes, not from wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet or buckwheat.

Several of our brands contain corn syrup, which may have trace amounts of corn gluten in it. If your sensitivity extends to other types of gluten, you may want to consult with your physician before chewing our brands.

We recommend that you check the ingredient statement and any allergen statements on the pack each time before consuming our product.”

As evident from their statement, it’s disappointing that Mars is unwilling to provide a definitive gluten-free claim for their chocolate products. Beloved candy bars such as 3 Musketeers, Dove, M&M’s, and Snickers, despite often not listing overt gluten-containing ingredients, are left in a grey area for gluten-sensitive consumers. While this guide doesn’t identify direct gluten ingredients in these chocolate bars, consumers must exercise their own discretion and judgment when considering them.

Ferrara: Check the Label for Certification

When inquiring about gluten-free products from individual Ferrara brands, a consistent response was received: they “recommend checking the package for the Gluten Free symbol. If it is not located on the package, it is not certified gluten-free.” (Emphasis added). This is a crucial distinction. For those who are comfortable consuming products that do not contain direct gluten ingredients but lack formal certification, we have listed them below. However, if you require certified gluten-free products, this list should serve as a starting point, reminding you to always verify the individual packaging for the specific certification symbol.
