M&Ms are a candy that should always be stocked in your pantry. When I initially started eating gluten-free a few years ago, one of the first things I wondered was whether or not M&Ms contained gluten.
The quick answer is yes. However, they are not gluten-free products verified by the Gluten Intolerance Company. If it was, they would have that fancy stamp indicating that they are certified to be gluten-free, which would provide you a considerable rise in the amount of peace of mind you have. They have approved more than 60,000 different goods, so who knows?
According to the ingredient list, some flavors of M&Ms do contain gluten, so you need to be cautious and read the labels carefully to avoid becoming sick from eating them.

Even though they have not been tested or verified to be gluten-free, they appear to be a safe candy option. Nima Sensor conducted a speedy investigation, and their research findings may be seen on this page for your convenience in making your choice.
