Are ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate chips gluten free

Although chocolate should be naturally gluten-free, chocolate products are often produced in facilities that also produce gluten-containing foods, so usually, there is a chance of cross-contamination.

This list of gluten-free chocolate chips brands contains labeled or certified gluten-free chocolate chips. When a product is certified gluten-free, it has undergone testing to ensure there is no chance of cross-contamination, and if there are trace amounts of wheat, they are less than 20 parts per million. If a brand is just labeled gluten free by the company without being certified, it just has to be free from any gluten-containing ingredients. Those suffering from celiac disease should only choose the certified gluten free options.

At the beginning of the list, you will find popular brands of chocolate chips that offer certified gluten free options. Toward the bottom of the list will be less popular brands, those you can only find at select stores, or those simply labeled gluten-free by the company. If any of these brands are available for purchase online, I will link to an online retailer so you can have it shipped to your door!

Also, if the product has any other certifications (like vegan, soy-free, nut-free, Kosher, or organic), I’ll list these as well for those following other special diets besides gluten-free.

As always, product ingredients can change at any time. Be sure to read the most recent product certifications, allergen warnings, and label info before purchasing any of the products on this list.

Notes About other Brands

• Nestle: Nestle Toll House has an allergy-friendly chocolate chip variety that claims to be free from wheat, but it does not explicitly state that it is gluten-free. It should be fine, but I am waiting on the company to reply to my email before adding it to this list.
• Guittard: Guittard chocolate chips are labeled gluten-free by some retailers like Target, but on the Guittard website, I found allergen information that said all of the baking chips are not safe for those with wheat allergies because of cross contamination. For that reason, this brand is not included on the list.
