I have used the semi-sweet chips but not the candy bars. My

recollection is that the alert on the GFCFDiet site at one point

explained that the candy bars are made on a line that also makes non-

GFCF candy (don't remember what kind), therefore risk of

contamination to all candy bars.

The choc chips are supposedly OK

We've had trouble with the Tropical Source chocolate bars, even before

the alert. My kids loved them so I tried again. Same trouble.

We have used the chocolate chips, however, with no problem.

I gave a candy bar to my son before checking the gfcfdiet site. He's

extremely sensitive and didn't react to the candy bar. Today he is reacting

because I gave him food at the in-laws yesterday. Turkey leg meat (the

turkey had been cooked with regular stuffing) and the rest of the food I

gave him had nothing in it. So he's reacting to the turkey or a cross

contamination, maybe both. I knew better, but wasn't given enough notice to

fix him a similar meal.

Me too. I broke down and gave him some yesterday because the

ingredients LOOK ok. He is usually ultrasensitive, and the candy did

not affect him at all. So he's happy and I'm happy. Thanks for your

reply.
