Hi all....
My son's class at school are having the following candy as a special "Treat" on Friday at his halloween party...

1. Dum-Dum Pops (which on the list are listed as gluten-free)
2. Smarties (also listed as gluten-free)
3. Star Bursts

it is the Star Bursts that I am concerned about... it has "Modified Food Starch" in it, but it is on the list of "Safe Halloween Candy".... Do they use Corn starch or should I just not let him have those....

I know he can have the dum dum pops and the smarties...

Thanks in advance!

I sure hope they are gluten-free because I eat them a lot!

Yes,the Starbursts are gluten free

Please be careful with the smarties. I love these and have been severely poisened by them. When I called the company they said they dusted the lines with flour but that the smarties themselves were gluten-free! They may have changed this practice call to make sure.

the last bag of Smarties I bought actually said Gluten Free somewhere on the label... I haven't had any problems with them and I am extremely sensitive.
