<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I wanted to pass this along... I spoke with consumer affairs people at M&M Mars candies in Hackettstown, NJ about their M & M candies. They confirmed again, and with convincing sincerity, that their M & M chocolate candies are completely gluten free and never have had gluten. They also claim to have researched their suppliers of additives, etc. I hope they are right, because I certainly am going right out and buying at least a one pound bag for starters! I'll let you know if I am sorry. Steve Veach in Chicago, Illinois USA P.S. They can be reached at 1-800-627-7852
