*The MilkyBar website shows that there are no gluten containing ingredients used in the original MilkyBar, however, they note that MilkyBar may contain gluten due to cross contamination. So this is not confirmed safe to consume for people with a gluten allergy or Coeliac.
Nestle has listed the following MilkyBar products as being confirmed gluten-free:
- Milkybar Milk & Crunchy
- Milkybar Giant White Chocolate Buttons
- Milkybar Giant Buttons
- Milkshake Milkybar Buttons Original
- Milkybar Dessert (yogurt)
- Milkybar Mousse (yogurt)

Surely if it says may contain gluten on the packet, and it does, and the website, it is certainly not safe coeliac or people highly sensitive to gluten, just incase??
Thanks for the comment Jeannine, updated for clarity. That is just for the original Milkybar by the way. For a number of other Milkybar products they are included in Nestle’s gluten free list: https://www.nestle.co.uk/sites/g/files/pydnoa461/files/asset-library/documents/nutritionhealthwellness/gluten%20avoidance%20list%20v1.pdf
Unfortunately, on the packet of original Milkybar, that i bought a couple of days ago, it said may contain gluten on the packet, that list could be out of date? Sorry to keep on, but i am worried someone might read this and not check the packet!
Oh wait, i see you have updated, thanks
