Dear Mrs. Mcpartlan,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us concerning Airheads. We
appreciate hearing from our consumers and welcome any questions that you may
have regarding our products.

The sugar, corn syrup, malto dextrin, and modified food starch are produced
from corn.

Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is from soybeans.

Citric acid, artificial flavor and artificial color are man-made chemical
compounds.

Water is purified tap water.

Due to the fact most of the ingredients are agricultural products and could
be processed on equipment that also handles products containing gluten, and,
since we perform no specific test for gluten, though it would not be typical
in the products, Van Melle USA INc. does not make the claim that Airheads
are gluten free.

Thank you again fo your interst in Van Melle.

Sincerely,
Corrie Stolk
Regulatory Affairs and Product Information Department

Hi, My child wants to try airheads and I'm wondering if they're gluten
free? Any chance you could let me know if this is GF, along with any
other of your products?

Thanks!
