Brach's Candy Corn

Does anyone know if it is gluten free?

I called the company, but have not received an answer yet.

These are the ingredients:

Sugar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Honey, Soy Protein, Gelatin, Confectioner's Glaze, Dextrose, Artificial Flavor, Titanium Dioxide Color, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3, Blue 1.

I know there are a couple of brands of candy corn listed on this site, but I can't find them anywhere... Brach's seems to be everywhere!

Thanks,

Ruth

Brach's says it doesn't consider any of its candies gluten-free. The reality is that most of their candies probably ARE gluten-free, but they're either too lazy or too afraid of lawsuits to find out which ones. Candy corn is one of their candies I probably wouldn't be afraid to eat, but I refuse to give them any of my money.

Ditto to Richard... I LOVE candy corn and Brach's is my favorite brand... no more!! IF anyone knows of a good sub that is gluten-free, please let me know. Farley's is gluten-free, but I do not care for them ~ would rather do without. Sad that Brachs has to be so uncooperative... their loss. :P

Oooh....that's a real disappointment. I used to love candy corn and then I just.....stopped eating it for some reason. A few days ago I wondered if it was gluten-free. I, too, would love ot hear any gluten-free brands

My kids and I have tried a few different candy corns (and pumpkins!), but we won't eat anything made from Brach's. I can't remember the brands we've tried, but we didn't have any reaction. If I can find out the names I will post them. Farley's is only good if it is a fresh batch. Sometimes tha bags sit there on the shelf too long and they are sort of crystalized. Try getting it from the halloween candy isle. Those should be newer bags.

God bless,

Mariann

Thanks for your replies!

I found a bag of Farley's Candy Corn today... just in time for my son's school Halloween party.

FYI The "Room Moms" (who were soooo good to call me and ask what products my gluten-free son could have!) came up with a great gluten-free Halloween treat.

"Monster Claws"

(1) clear plastic glove per child .... fill tips of fingers with candy corn. Fill rest of glove with popcorn. Tie with orange and black ribbon.

I found it at a small, local, mom & pop store.

However, you may find it at a store near you ... It is labled "Sathers" and it is sold in 2/$1.00 4oz. bags. It almost looks generic, but with a Red & Yellow label.

The label on the back says "Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. Round Lake, MN 56167"

PS Mariann was right... they are a bit "stale" but they do the trick... and they are not Brachs!

I called "Brachs" just after halloween to ask about there candy,and they also told me to consider that none of there candy are gluten free. They do not make list in case they get out dated, I would think they make all there candy the same way so why not any list. I also refuse to buy anything from them.

Thanks Rebecca

I believe that Targets own brand of candy corn is gluten free. I asked the same question a while ago and thats one of the brands that they told me was ok. Then the ingrediants looked good to me! Hope that helps since most people live near a target!

Jelly Belly candy corn is gluten and casein free. I found it in the Jelly Belly bulk bins at Target.

      False reading as of right now

      By J1707 · Posted

      Honestly that's a good question, but I would like an official answer since I'm not a professional and my doctor's in my opinion no offense to them I'd say gone about it in a unprofessional way unless other's have been told to go gluten free, get a biopsy, just to go back gluten due to a possible false reading and then gotta go back for another biopsy But if it really was up to me per say then I'd definitely stay gluten free like this diet change has really helped me a lot in a lot of ways, not just for health reasons, but discipline toward not indulging to much on things i used too, not to mention being more aware of what I'm intaking by reading labels more and calling the manufacturers to find more answers if needed.

      iceicebritney,  I read where you were referred to John's Hopkins.  If you live in that area/suburb and still have the rash, I can give you my Dermatologist's name(https://www.brderm.com/dr-robinson.html I se Dr Robinson, who diagnosed me with dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease 2 weeks after my first visit)

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Kate1990, I reacted to calcium citrate because it's made from oyster shells and I react to seafood.   I chose calcium malate and chelated calcium.  Be sure to take a magnesium supplement as well, but several hours away from calcium.  Magnesium and calcium compete for absorption.  We need calcium for bones, but magnesium and potassium keep calcium in the bones.   Hope this helps!

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By Kate1990 · Posted

      Hi,   I've started taking calcium citrate supplements from Webber Naturals. It says that it contains no gluten, but not that it is gluten-free. I've reached out to the company by e-mail and they have assured me that it is gluten-free. However, I think I'm reacting to it. I've searched everything else I consume and haven't found any possible source of contamination. I've been looking for other supplement brands that would be certified gluten-free and safe and have found a few options, but none of them ship to Canada. Does anyone know where I could buy calcium citrate supplements (apparently calcium citrate is the one that causes the least constipation, and this is an issue for me). Thanks in advance!
