Nothing is. Whole foods that is about it. And  THAT is the truth. Kraft or any other main stream company you can't trust. And even if  it said certified gluten-free you still can't trust it. It would most likely have 10ppm of gluten in it.

I disagree.  Kraft does a good job of disclosing their ingredients.  They can not promise that the Carmel’s are gluten free because they do not test them.  But think about it.  They make a ton of this stuff.  Odds of cross contamination are probably very low.

I stopped consuming these personally because I have diabetes. If I am going to have sugar, I will go for chocolate.  If I really want a Carmel sauce, I will make my own using 100% sugar and real butter instead of cheap corn syrup that has been proven to cause weight gain and fatty liver.  (Google “Sugar the Bitter Truth” located on YouTube and issued by UC TV (University of California, San Francisco which is graduate school.  I think it has 10 million views).  Heck, here is the link:

If you think you are having a “reaction”, it could be due to a milk, soy or corn intolerance/allergy, but not a gluten exposure.  
 

Consider subscribing to The Gluten Free Watchdog.  They tests products suggested by subscribers.  These Carmel’s might even have already been tested.  Sure it is just a one time test, but it gives you a little piece of mind.  Just give up a grande coffee once a month to cover the subscription!

Kraft has been good about disclosing all ingredients, and has nothing to gain, and a lot to lose, by not doing so. According to the ingredients there is no gluten, but it isn't labeled "gluten-free" or certified:

Hi, I've been looking up the same thing and found that they are Gluten free, just not tested. Nothing else is made on the same line though so we should be fine.

I don't eat things that I consider risky & considered making my own caramel or just not having any but I'm confident that kraft caramels and caramel bits are safe.

I'm making caramel apples with mine! And yes I have Celiac disease.

Hope you enjoy your caramel bits!!

I've had them a number of times (previous years) and not had a reaction so I consider them gluten free.
