Let’s find out if this American candy bar is gluten-free.
Are Baby Ruth Bars Gluten-Free?
The Answer is: NO
While the Baby Ruth bar ingredients list does not contain any gluten loaded ingredients, the FAQs on the official Baby Ruth website state that the candy bar is not gluten free. Possibly due to cross contamination or some other ingredient change. Therefore if you have Celiac Disease or a gluten allergy, these candy bars are not safe to consume.

On Ferreras website in the Q&A for Baby Ruth, they specifically state that they are NOT gluten free. So there is apparently cross contamination. I would change your recommendation for Celiacs to try them.
Hi there, thanks for the heads up! They must have updated their processes when they recently updated the recipe. We will update.
