Is sour patch kids candy gluten free?

While the main ingredients (sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, etc.) are typically gluten-free, the manufacturing process and potential cross-contamination with other products containing gluten make them unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Here's why:

* Shared equipment: Candy factories often use the same equipment to produce various products, including those containing gluten. This increases the risk of cross-contamination.

* Ingredients: While the main ingredients are generally gluten-free, there is a chance that some minor ingredients or flavorings might contain gluten.

* Lack of certification: Sour Patch Kids do not have a gluten-free certification.

If you have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease, it's best to avoid Sour Patch Kids and look for certified gluten-free alternatives.
