Haribo Happiness, January 5, 2014

I’m not big into shoes or clothes, so when I went to the mall in junior high or high school, I often hit the candy store.  My sweet tooth would quickly drag me to purchase a heap of gummies with a few tart candies tossed in for good measure.  When I went gf, I found that a number of gummies were off limits but not all of them.  Most Haribo gummi candies are gluten free.  While they are not clearly labeled on the bags (they should be), their website is straightforward.  Here is a list of their gf varieties.

I’m not sure if the infamous sugarless Haribo gummy bears are gluten free or not, but stay away from them regardless.  Years before these recent Amazon horror stories surfaced, I stupidly ate them and went through the same hell as others.  Just don’t!

**This list was confirmed in February 2014 and could change.  Keep in mind that buying in bulk can cause a risk of cross contamination (think scoopers being used for various items at a candy store).  Small but still possible.**

I’m still sorting out other gluten free gummy candy companies and will let you know when they all get back to me, but in the meantime, enjoy some Haribo Gold Bears or Cola Bottles!
