Is Milk Chocolate Gluten Free?

Generally, pure milk chocolate is gluten-free as its main ingredients (cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk) do not contain gluten. However, some milk chocolate products may contain gluten due to added ingredients or cross-contamination during manufacturing, so it’s always best to check the label or contact the manufacturer if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Asked Questions 1

Is there gluten in Milk Chocolate?
Milk chocolate itself does not typically contain gluten. However, some milk chocolate products may have gluten-containing additives or be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing ingredients. It's important to check the ingredient list and allergen information on the packaging. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's safest to choose milk chocolate that is specifically labeled as gluten-free.
What chocolates are gluten free?
Many dark chocolate bars are naturally gluten-free. Milk chocolate without added ingredients is typically gluten-free as well. However, chocolates with added flavorings, cookies, or cereal pieces may contain gluten. It's always best to check the ingredient list or look for a gluten-free label to be certain.
Is Hershey milk chocolate gluten free?
Yes, Hershey's milk chocolate is generally considered gluten-free. The main ingredients in Hershey's milk chocolate are sugar, milk, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, and emulsifiers, none of which contain gluten. However, it's always important to check the label for the most up-to-date information, as manufacturing processes or ingredient sources can sometimes change. While Hershey's milk chocolate itself doesn't contain gluten, be cautious of chocolate products with added ingredients like cookies or wafers, which may contain gluten.
Can celiac people eat chocolate?
Most pure chocolate is naturally gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease to consume. However, some chocolate products may contain gluten as an additive or due to cross-contamination during manufacturing. It's important for celiac individuals to carefully read labels and choose chocolates that are certified gluten-free. Plain dark chocolate is generally the safest option, but always verify the ingredients and manufacturing processes to ensure safety.
