Red Vines, sometimes referred to as the “Original Red Twists” or as red licorice (despite containing no licorice) is a brand of candy manufactured by the American Licorice Company.
According to the American Licorice Company.
Red Vines® has been an essential part of celebrating life’s sweetest moments. We pride ourselves in using artisanal techniques that have been passed down through five generations. Made using a small batch process, Red Vines® candy has a rich heritage built on our dedication to consistent quality and exceptional flavor. Our focus is to deliver you fresh and fat-free Red Vines® every time, all the time.
Red Vines are very similar to another brand of candy called Twizzlers which we have also reviewed here at GlutenBee.
Let’s find out if the “Original Red Twists” are gluten-free?
Are Red Vines Gluten-Free?
The Answer is: NO
Recommended Gluten Free Cook Books:
Red Vines are not gluten-free so people with celiac disease should steer clear. One of the ingredients in the vines is wheat, which can cause an immune reaction in the small intestines of people with gluten allergies.
If you are gluten intolerant, on a gluten diet or have been diagnosed with any form of celiac disease, you should avoid all products by Red Vines because they all contain wheat as a main ingredient.
