<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I called the Hershey Co. to ask about the gluten status of their Jolly Ranchers candies. I was told that the natural and artificial flavorings are purchased from an outside source and that Hershey didn't have the information. I was told that they would call the supplier and find the information for me and call me back. As this has happened many times in the past with other companies, and I have never received the return phone call, I didn't hold my breath. I was pleasently surprised this morning when I got a phone call from a Sue Harris at the Hershey Co. She told me that she checked with the supplier and that Jolly Ranchers candies ARE gluten-free. To verify, the number is: 1-800-468-1714. If you do call her, please let her know how much we appreciate her efforts. CheekyR
