<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi friends, I received two responses to my question about Skittles and it's a YES they are gluten-free. One listmember stated: I received a letter dated Jan 23, 97 stating skittles were GF as well as Starburst fruit chews and Uncle Ben's CONVERTED brand rice and brown rice. The phone # is 1 800 734 3226. Hope this helps. and the other stated: According to The Coeliac Society of Ireland publication: "A List of GLUTEN-FREE Manufactured Products" October 1996 Skittles as made by Mars of Slough England are gluten-free Thanks to both of you :) My children are thrilled to try something different.
