Gluten-Free Candy

Which name brands are safe?

By Terri Mauro, About.com

Wondering which treats are safe to give your gluten-intolerant child, and which have sneaky wheat ingredients lurking within? These lists from around the Web -- some provided by manufacturers, some assembled informally by parents -- will give you a good place to start looking. Since ingredients often change without notice, you'll still want to check the list on the product yourself, and contact the manufacturer directly if you have any doubt.
