Still shopping for Easter candy? Hopefully you have seen my earlier post on Gourmet Gluten and Dairy Free Easter Baskets and Gluten Free Easter Candy.
If purchasing allergen free Jelly Beans is still on your list, you may want to take a look at Gimbals Fine Candies Gourmet Jelly Beans!
I am vigilant about feeding my gluten free kids the safest of everything that I can find. My Gluten Free Teen seems to be particularly sensitive to minuscule amounts of gluten - truly anything above 20 ppm will make her sick.
In fact, she was recently re-tested and her TTG levels were elevated to 25. The doctor told us that 20 is normal, but I was crushed at hearing this. After rechecking everything for the millionth time, we came to the conclusion that it is the new boyfriend. They have been eating out a lot, but there is also a lot of smooching going on! (Yes, she would kill me if she knew I was writing this).
Not really knowing what the "rule" should be, we went with the common peanut rule - he has to brush his teeth and wash his face and no kissing for two hours after eating gluten. Thankfully he is a really nice boy and even eats GF when they go out.
I love the fact that these Jelly Beans are made in a facility that is free of all of the top 8 allergens PLUS gluten (won't it be great when the top 8 allergen list is actually expanded to include gluten).
Gimbal’s Fine Candies confectionery has been making candy for over 100 years in bustling downtown San Francisco. The company survived the 1906 earthquake and resulting fires because of its protected location near the San Francisco Customs House.
Gimbal's is one of the only major confectionery manufacturers in the USA that has committed to be allergen free. In order to eliminate risk of cross contamination, gluten and dairy are not included in Gimbal’s recipes, nor are they permitted inside their production and packaging facilities.
You can find Gimbal’s Fine Candies at many major national retailers, including Walmart, Rite Aid, Big Lots, and online . You can also click this link to Gimbal's Fine Candies Gourmet Jelly Beans, 41 Flavors, 40-Ounce Jar
