To help make your Halloween even sweeter, GF Delights has compiled a list of some of the most popular gluten free treats, although it is far from exhaustive. The following information comes through research done by the Celiac Sprue Association on product information (www.csaceliacs.org), as well as information provided by individual companies.

These products are part of a very limited and inconclusive "gluten free" list provided by Hershey's upon request. The company states: "We have found that allergen lists quickly become outdated as our product lines change over time. Rather than have you make purchase decisions based on outdated information, we encourage you to check the ingredient label on the package. This label provides accurate, current information about all the ingredients in the package." GF Delights has confirmed with Hershey's that even trace amounts of gluten will be mentioned on the label.

Mars, like Hershey's, does not publish product lists or specific allergen info, but rather encourages those who are concerned to read product labels. The company states: "Our goal is to provide safe, high-quality food products for our consumers. Therefore, we have developed strict rules about the labeling of allergens on our products." These rules, which can be found here, include the declaration of the presence of top allergens in the product recipes, and the labeling of even trace amounts of allergens to prevent all risk.
