What about Andes Mints? Are they safe?
The amazing news is Andes Mints are gluten free, peanut free and tree nut free made in a facility that does not contain any of those ingredients. Super awesome.
What about the green food coloring? Is that safe?
Many food colorings are NOT safe for those with celiac and nut allergies. It appears to me that McCormick is.
I checked their website and it said that any product that contains a gluten free label is produced on a dedicated gluten free line and has been validated as gluten free.
McCormick says if gluten appears in a product, they will always list it on a label. They will never hide allergens under the term “natural flavors.”
I even called the company. The statement said, if a product ever contained an allergen it would be declared on the label. If it is not declared, this means the product does not contain it.
I feel very confident in using McCormick products because of procedures they have in place.
I can get the green food coloring in my local grocery store, but you can also buy it on Amazon.
McCormick is also the brand of peppermint extract because the box also says gluten free.
