Tic Tac is a candy that started off just creating small, hard mints. It is manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero and is now available in a variety of flavours in over 100 countries.
Tic Tac is usually sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action hinged lid.
It is best known and marketed as a way to “refresh your mouth and spark many fresh connections with those around you at any time;” but is it gluten-free?
Let’s find out:
Are Tic Tacs Gluten-Free?
The Answer is: YES
Recommended Gluten Free Cook Books:
Tic Tac pills do not contain any ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat, barley, rye, oats or triticale and are therefore safe for those with celiac disease and on a gluten-free diet.
This is confirmed by Tic Tac UK and Tic Tac USA.
