What Pops Are Gluten Free

Product Why It’s Not Safe
Tootsie Pops Tootsie Pops are not gluten free in some formulations because wheat-derived glucose syrup may be used in the outer shell. The allergen panel confirms gluten in these cases. While marketed widely as a child-friendly candy, they are unsuitable for gluten-sensitive individuals and celiac patients unless specifically marked gluten free.
Dum Dums (assorted flavors) Some Dum Dums are not gluten free because wheat-based glucose syrup is used in certain flavors. The allergen labeling highlights gluten. Mixed bags may not be safe for celiac patients, even if some flavors alone would be safe.
