Do chocolate chips have gluten in them?

This is a tricky question! It depends on the brand and the type of chocolate chip. Here's why:

* Chocolate itself is naturally gluten-free. It's made from cocoa beans, sugar, and sometimes milk or other additives.

* The problem is cross-contamination. Some chocolate chip brands might be manufactured in facilities that also process wheat products. This means there's a chance of gluten getting into the chocolate chips during production.

* "Gluten-free" labeling is important. Look for chocolate chips explicitly labeled "gluten-free" to be extra safe, especially if you have a gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

To be absolutely sure, check the ingredient list and packaging for the specific brand of chocolate chips you're considering.
