Is there gluten in marshmallows

Answer 1

It depends on brand and country. In the US most marshmallows are gluten-free - see about.com article below. In some countries, especially those where wheat products are cheaper than corn products, wheat glucose syrup is used instead of corn syrup. These marshmallows have a significant gluten content. Pascall Marshmallows made in Australia by Cadbury are an example - see second link below. The outer dusting is usually corn starch, which is gluten-free.

Answer 2

Commercial marshmallows probably do not contain either gluten or eggs, but it is always wise to check the list of ingredients on the package to be certain. They may contain cornstarch which could have gluten. Homemade marshmallows usually contain egg whites.

Answer 3

Hello,

Marshmallow is one of the most favourite snacks worldwide. Do gluten intolerant people need to worry about marshmallows? Some marshmallows are made from ingredients like wheat starch or glucose syrup, these may be troublesome for gluten sensitive people. But nowadays many companies are making marshmallows with ingredients like corn starch instead of wheat starch, so they are gluten free and safe for gluten sensitive persons. Some manufacturers also make marshmallows which only contain sugar, water and gelatine, this make them dairy free and in most cases gluten free. Since marshmallow is very popular people don’t look carefully at the ingredients label before buying them.

Thank you.
