Gluten sensitivity has become one of the most talked about food issues today. Since many people are concerned about health issues associated with eating gluten, gluten free diets and food products are becoming more common. Gluten is a protein found in a number of grains such as wheat, rye and barley. It is present in a great number of processed foods, so those wishing to pursue a gluten free diet need to eat a lot of fresh foods and check labels on many products, not just those you would naturally assume contain grains. That even includes candies, some of which are fine for a gluten free diet but some of which should be avoided. For instance, some candies you might think are gluten free are made with malt additives which contain gluten.

If you want to find gluten free candy, one option is to look on a given candy manufacturer’s website. Since gluten free is becoming a health choice for so many people, some manufacturers are doing their best to make it easy for consumers to discover whether or not products contain gluten. They will provide a list of their gluten free products.

You can also check the websites of candy wholesalers who sell a variety of brands from different manufacturers. Sites such as blaircandy.com have done your homework for you by amassing lists of various brands and types of candy that are listed as gluten free by the manufacturers who make them. You can peruse their site to see what they list as gluten free under categories like candy bars, gummy candy, gum, lollipops, novelty candy and seasonal candy.

Websites that list gluten free seasonal candy can be a special help since candy can be such a big part of certain seasonal celebrations like Easter or Halloween. Some of the candies that are most popular during those times appear on the market for only a brief time. You may find yourself needing to find information on something in your child’s trick-or-treat bag or something given to them in a goody bag at a holiday party. When in doubt, you can always call the manufacturer directly and ask if a certain product is gluten free.
