Is licorice wheat and dairy free?

It depends on the type of licorice you're talking about!

Black licorice, also known as "salty licorice", is typically wheat and dairy free. It's made from licorice root extract, sugar, molasses, and sometimes anise oil.

However, some licorice products can contain wheat or dairy.

* Red licorice is often flavored with red dye and may contain wheat starch as a thickener.

* Licorice candy (like Twizzlers) may contain dairy in the form of milk solids or whey.

Always check the ingredient list of any licorice product to be sure it's wheat and dairy free.
