I am so excited that this candy is gluten free. I saw it on the 2007 Rock list and decided to email the company as they listed Modified Food Starch as an ingredient...this is the response I got....awesome!!!
Thank you for your interest in our MIKE AND IKEŽ Brand Candies. We strive to be aware and responsive to food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities and are happy to provide as much information as we can to help consumers make informed decisions about the products they eat.
The modified food starch that we use in our candies is corn starch. We are in the process of updating our package labels to reflect products that are gluten free. This will enable our consumers to rely on our package labels. During this transition, we recommend consumers call for the most up to date information.
Should you have additional questions about our products, please contact us toll-free at 1-888-645-3453 between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
