Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 After checking online to try to sort out the whole Butterfinger issue, I was getting so many confusing options I decided to call the company to clear things up. I fished the Butterfinger wrappers (from Merrick’s Halloween stash) out of the trash and found a phone number to call. Here is what the official Butterfinger representative told me. The good news: Butterfinger candy bars are Gluten-free EXCEPT for the ones listed below. The bad news: The 5 ounce bar is processed on the same line as bars that contain gluten, so they may be cross contaminated. The same situation holds for the Butterfinger Pieces in Milk Chocolate (the little round balls). Both these items are not gluten-free. Butterfinger Crisps and Butterfinger Stixx (all sizes/types) are also NOT GF. If you aren’t sure, check the package for information about allergens; Nestle’s policy on allergens states that gluten will be listed if it is in the product or if the product may be cross-contaminated. So, with a bit of caution, celiac Butterfinger fans may indulge their cravings! Have more questions? Here’s the Butterfinger connection: 1-800-310-0412 M-F, 8am to 8pm ET.
