Not Labelled Gluten Free?...It May Still Be Edible

OK, before you get excited...I Am Not telling you to break your gluten free diet. No, that is a big no no in my books. However, in the grand scheme of things labels have not kept up to the times. So this is where you need to read your labels and be versed in the language of "glutenology". You also need to get in the habit of reading the label each time you buy a product- sometimes ingredients change, so be vigilant. Also, depending on what country you live in, ingredients may differ slightly. Read the label every time! But to save you some of the effort of wondering exactly you may possibly consider that is not labelled gluten free, here is a list:

Corn Pops Cereal*
Captain Crunch Cereal*
Original M&M's
Peanut M&M's
Peanut Butter M&M's
Dark Chocolate M&M's
Skittles (all flavors- so far)
Lays Potato Chips (plain, and some other flavors)
Ruffles Potato Chips (plain, and some other flavors)
Carnation Hot Chocolate (mini marshmallow and Rolo too)
Maynards Candy
Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
Knorr Ready to Serve Soups (Yellow, Red, Orange, & Green)
V8 Ready to Serve Soups (in carton)
Areo Chocolate Bar
O'Henry Bar
Reeses Pieces
Jelly Belly jelly beans
Cadbury Mini Eggs
VH Soya Sauce

*Note: Contains oat flour. Do not consume if you cannot tolerate oats. My daughter is able to eat oats, is a fairly sensitive Celiac, and is able to eat both the above listed cereals. If you do not feel confident that you may eat this then avoid.
There is more...but I will update soon. I have to pester my daughter to list more, since she is the Celiac and tends to have a better memory than me. Until then, make sure you read your labels before you dive into anything on the above list.
