Over 10 years ago See’s told me that

only their suckers were GF. We had been eating See’s candy before I

found that out, and it turned out to be the cause of the mild symptoms my kids

were having. Then about 5 years ago they started to increase their GF

list, and I once again tried See’s candy, sticking to the ones on their

GF list, only to have the same symptoms occur. I gave up on See’s

at that point and haven’t tried them since. I don’t know if

they have changed anything since then, but I’m not tempted to try them

again. In Santa Cruz

you can get great handmade chocolates at MacKenzie’s Candy Kitchen, and

we have never had a problem with them.

candy and corn starch

It is

news that See's is gluten free. In the past, when I visited the

local store, they were very cautious and recommended that I not try

the candy, partly because wheat starch was used on the conveyor belts

in the factory. So this is really good news for candy lovers
