Some candies are gluten-free while others are not. Some may have no gluten-containing ingredients but still not be safe for those with celiac disease due to cross-contamination on manufacturing lines. Some mini versions of products have different ingredients from the original size. It’s always best to read labels and check regularly, in case ingredients or facilities have changed. If you’re unsure, contact the manufacturer directly. Show Note: Beyond Celiac is a US-based company, therefore this list is primarily for those buying candy in the US. Some candies may be produced in different ways in different countries. This list is updated infrequently, so it’s always good practice to double-check with the manufacturer.
