3 Musketeers
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I recently added a few mainstream items to my diet, but suspect one might contain gluten in something like a "natural flavor" or an "artificial flavor".

I added 3 Musketeers, tic tacs, walnuts, and Planters dry roasted peanuts.

There are no gluten containing ingredients listed in any of the above. However, note that 3 Musketeers does not label rye or barley and uses flavorings. And while I can find references that it is gluten free, they are are all old references and usually just someone saying they are gluten free-no source. No offense, but I generally don't trust someone who says "must be gluten free because I feel fine after I eat it". I'm more trusting of people who say they checked with the manufacturer, and I can't seem to find anyone saying that about 3 Musketeers.

So-does anyone know for certain (from a reliable website or the manufacturer) that the above are gluten free (well, excepting the walnuts, of course. I suppose they could be coated in wheat to keep them from sticking together, but that'd be weird).

Thanks-really hope someone can help me as I'm feeling pretty ick.

" got this from the Mars site, it does not state that milky way midnight (dark) is gluten free as it does for the caramels... and 3 Musketeers... could be that the vanilla they use is not GF or it's one of the mysterious "natural flavors"... not sure, and not willing to take the chance yet...
