Chocolate & Gluten

Q: Is there gluten in chocolate?

A: Gluten is a mixture of plant proteins occurring in cereal grains, chiefly wheat, rye and barley. Our chocolate ingredients: (cacao beans, sugar, vanilla bean, cocoa butter, and soy lecithin as an emulsifier) do not contain gluten. We also do not have any cereal grains present anywhere in our Robinson, IL manufacturing facility at any time. Please note, however, that our 1 oz. and 3 oz. bars, Cacao Nibs, and our panned and chocolate-covered products, Nibs, Cocao Powder and Sweetened Cocoa Powder are processed in a facility that handles wheat products, and thus may contain traces of gluten.

Our 9.7 ounce and 6 ounce Home Baking Bars (99% cacao, 70% cacao and 62% cacao) and our 2Kg chocolate propacks (99% cacao, 82% cacao, 70% cacao, and 62% cacao) are manufactured from start to finish our Robinson, IL facility.
