Dove Chocolate is a popular chocolate brand that contains gluten, according to the official website for parent company Mars. While most variations of Dove Chocolate are not gluten-free, certain flavors such as Cookies & Creme and Dove Cinnamon Graham Cookies contain gluten.
Dove Chocolate, which is made by Mars Wrigley Confectionery, is distributed in over 100 countries worldwide. The brand's gluten-free options include dark chocolate and milk chocolate bars, as well as individually wrapped squares. The plain milk chocolate bar is the only variety that is considered gluten-free to 20 parts per million or less, according to the website.
It's important for customers with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity to read product labels carefully. Some Dove Chocolate products may be processed on equipment that also processes foods that contain gluten, which could potentially introduce gluten cross-contamination.
Despite the potential for cross-contamination, Dove Chocolate does not list any gluten ingredients on its official website, which means that consumers should consult the labels for any traces of gluten. The company emphasizes that it takes steps to clean equipment between batches and works to isolate nuts and other ingredients by good manufacturing practices.
