Mars Celebrations Gluten Free?

By Laura | Published December 21, 2009

I’m sitting in my office on a chilly day. It’s almost Christmas and there are sweets and treats galore. A huge box of Mars Celebrations is beaming at me from across the room and I’m wondering whether or not I can have any of these. I know I can’t have Malteasers but what about the others? I emailed Mars to ask them for a list of their gluten free products. Let’s see if they get back to me with good news!

Message:
Hello, I was wondering if you could send me a list telling me which of your products are gluten free? You don’t have this information on your labelling and you don’t provide details of your gf products in the coeliac UK list so how can I find out which of your products are safe for me to eat? I have recently found out that I have coeliac disease and was very dissapointed to discover that I had to stay away from all Mars products because I can’t be certain about the gluten content. Please help me out here because I’m missing out on some of my favourite treats…Thanks, Laura

    Hi Laura, thanks very much for posting this message, it was really useful. I too have recently been diagnosed with CD, and being a lover of chocolate, this was the first thing i checked to see if it contained gluten!! Im glad to hear that most Mars products are safe for us to eat!

    I’m happy I could help. Welcome to our gluten free world. I’m so happy that a lot of chocolate and sweets I ate before turned out to gluten free. :)

    Thanks a lot to share this. My son was diagnosed Celiac decease and it was very hard to find GF products in Middle East (we are living in Qatar). This is great news that we can buy GALAXY products.
