The number to Hershey’s customer service is 1-800-468-1714. As Hershey’s, an otherwise responsible company, is still convinced that their Hershey’s Nuggets Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds is gluten free (they told me so today) I suggest that anyone who has been affected negatively give them a call. Their customer service line takes comments and complaints. To clarify my ealier conjuncture that the toffee bits are contaminated I would mention that when the still hot toffee mixture is spread, something is generally used on the spreading surface to stop it from sticking. I also couldn’t find toffee bits listed in their other products, so perhaps they are sourcing it instead of making it in-house, increasing the likelyhood of it being below the usual Hershey’s standard.

I have never before had a cross-contamination reaction but I have been having a mild yet painful reaction to something while eating 1-3 Hershey’s Nuggets Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds for the last couple weeks. My problem isn’t gluten accross the board either, it is wheat and wheat alone. I personally suspect the wheat is in or on the toffee bits.

I have also had nasty reactions to Hershey’s Nuggets… too bad, because they were my “secret indulgence” whenever I went to visit my folks. Those little creamy, chocolaty morsels used to be such great stress-relievers!! I have now substituted reading, walking the dog, and looking through seed catalogs to do the trick… as I think about those little bites of “heaven”

I recently ate some of the Hershey’s Nuggets & I did
react to them – there must be something in there that
contains gluten.

We just began to suspect my son is gluten intolorant. He’s been dealing with migraines and severe stomach aches since he was 3 – he’s now 9. This list is so very helpful. I can’t thank you enough!
