My daughter has been recently dx with celiac and I think she developed a DH rash on her legs from some Easter candy! I only bought three prefixed eggs...starburst jelly beans, skittles and m&m! After reading others comments I assume the jelly beans are the problem! Just when I thought it was okay! I read the Labels mostly looking for "wheat barley rye malt " ingrediants and didn't notice them as listed! I am unfortunately happy to see that others have had the same reaction to the jelly beans as I have been worrying what I have done wrong! Still stressing over every meal for her at this point! Again thank you and everyone for yor advice and help! Oh and happy belated Easter:) A Thank you so much for the list and to everyone who has responded!

They come in a blue bag with the little hawaian guy on the front. These are not safe. Yall have it hard. My family does not have any dietary restrictions. We have become aware of gluten free products because of a little boy in my son's class. It is a challenge to find something that all can enjoy. I don't want him to feel excluded, so I go the extra mile for him. It isn't easy by no means. I wish yall the best and hopefully manufacturers will consider not cross contaminating so many products.

Wheat is certainly the biggest concern for gluten. However, when checking ingredients, you should also avoid barley, malt, malt flavoring, etc. You can check the complete list of unsafe ingredients on <a href="http://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsafe-Gluten-Free-Food-List-Unsafe-Ingredients/Page1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">celiac.com</a>. Hope that helps. Chrysta – Snickers products are usually gluten-free, but I don’t know for sure about the egg-shaped variety. Wheat is certainly the biggest concern for gluten.

Sorry to hear you had a reaction to the jelly beans. It has been brought to my attention that the company has removed the words "GLUTEN FREE" from their packaging. I'm not sure if they have changed facilities, manufacturing processes, or just got worried about making claims of being Gluten-free without testing. Whatever the case, it looks like the candy list may need to be updated. Hope you're feeling better. Cindi – Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear you had a reaction to the jelly beans.

I, too stay away from their chocolates and have them listed on the UNSAFE candy list. Since the jelly beans are made on different equipment, I didn't think they were contaminated with gluten. I was wondering if you have had a reaction from eating the jelly beans, or just the chocolate candies? Thanks. Antonia – Thanks for taking the time to respond regarding Russell Stover candy.
