Farley's
This information was given to 3 people by Farley's:
They do not add any wheat to their candies unless listed and they do not
flour their lines. Since they do make some wheat products, they feel
compelled to list the ingredients since it is possible that a miniscule
trace amount of gluten could remain on the lines after being washed or even
in the air.
Their Candy Corn does not have Gluten as an ingredient.
One lady was told they would be able to take the warning off by next year
because they will be eliminating the wheat in that facility.
****************
All M&M's- yes even the crunchy ones!!! Made with rice flour-this was
verified by two people with the company
******************
Wow looks like we will have a great Halloween
There are more candies that are gluten free, so if you do not see your
favorite listed here- check with the manufacturer!
I will summarize again if I get more info
