Are All Reese’s Gluten-Free?

Reese’s offers a variety of gluten-free options but it is important to note that not all products are gluten-free. Before we discuss which Reese's products are gluten free, we need to discuss what gluten even is!

Gluten is a protein found in various different grains, including wheat, rye, barley, or oats if they weren’t grown separately from gluten-containing grains. You might see these ingredients on the ingredients list of the nutrient label instead of the word ‘gluten’ itself.

According to the FDA, a product can only have a gluten-free label in the United States if it contains less than 20 mg of gluten per kilogram.  

If a product does not have a gluten free statement on the label, nor have any gluten containing ingredients on the ingredients list, sometimes it’s helpful to contact the company directly to inquire into whether the product has ‘hidden gluten.’

According to the Hersheyland website, Reese’s does enact strict cleaning protocols for allergens (including wheat) in their manufacturing plants, and states that they clearly label for the presence of allergens on the ingredients label and in “contains” statements.  Due to this, Hershey guides, “We encourage you to check the ingredient and allergen information on the package for information about a product.”  This is because ingredients can change at any time!

So before consuming Reese's--even a product that has been considered safe in the past COULD be reformulated with a gluten containing ingredient.

Are Reese’s Gluten And Dairy Free?

No, Reese’s products are not gluten and dairy free. Reese’s does offer Plant-Based Oat Chocolate Confection & Peanut Butter Cups that are certified vegan but it does contain oat flour making it potentially unsafe for someone who is gluten-free or has Celiac disease. 

Are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Safe For Celiacs?

Yes, those with Celiac Disease can enjoy some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Since not all Reese’s products are gluten-free, you will want to check the packaging to ensure no ingredients contain gluten.
