Farley & Sathers Candy (Brach's Candy)

I wrote to Brach's (Farley and Sathers) and asked them if any of their candy had gluten in it. Their reply was not entirely helpful since colorings and flavorings can be an issue for those sensitive to gluten. But this was their reply (I have highlighted in bold what is immediately important):


Dear Ms ____:

Thank you for writing Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. regarding Brach's® Candies. Hearing from our consumers better enables us to continue to provide quality products and services. Consumer feedback is very important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Due to constant changes in manufacturing and packaging, Farley's & Sathers is not able to offer a list of gluten free items. Please refer to the packaging, as the packaging contains the most current ingredient and allergen statements. Packaging is updated anytime a change is made to the production location of any item. Farley's & Sathers Candy Company maintains several manufacturing and packaging facilities.

Thank you for contacting Farley's & Sathers Candy Company with your request for information on our allergens. Please contact us directly at 1-888-247-9855 (Consumer Affairs) with any additional questions or concerns about gluten and our products.
