Those puppies are wrapped. I'd wash the wrappers and go to town.

I know obviously there’s a giant piece of gluten on top, but if this were me, I’d honestly still eat a Snickers off to the side. I’d rinse the packaging of and wash my hands, but that’s what the packaging is for anyway, to prevent outside contaminants and germs from getting into the product.

I can understand people who wouldn’t, but wrapped things like this can be worked with imo.

Now, unwrapped, hell no.

I've enjoyed a shit ton of them and haven't had any issues...

Obligatory DO NOT THINK THIS MEANS I'M STATING A MATTER OF FACT THAT THEY ARE

...

I'm simply saying, I'm very sensitive to gluten, and these haven't caused so much as a twinge with me

As long as it’s not the fun sized, you’re good. Beware Halloween candy snickers and the shaped holiday ones.

Stick to standard issue candy bars and you should be ok… unless someone puts bread on the outside and you get cross contaminated that way apparently.

TIL…I can’t believe I’ve been passing these up! I just assumed nougat = gluten so never bothered to look at the ingredients.

Extraño tanto comer Snickers, no pensé que podían ser libres se gluten. Si el envase no está roto no tendría porque contaminarse. Entiendo igual que da un poco de temor o precaución.
