Thank goodness that, yes, most marshmallows are gluten free and safe to consume if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
But with anything, there are some exceptions – and caveats – you must be aware of, particularly when it comes to the most popular brand of marshmallows, Kraft Jet-Puffed marshmallows.
Before you get too excited about sinking your teeth into one of those sweet and pillowy treats, read this article. I share what each of the leading marshmallow brands says about gluten, and I also independently tested some of the brands for hidden gluten using my Nima Sensor. (Please note the Nima Sensor may be out of business.) On top of that, one brand of marshmallows contains wheat – buyer beware!
Jet-Puffed marshmallows do not contain any gluten ingredients and apparently are not subject to cross contamination during the manufacturing process. Enjoy those marshmallows!
