Twizzlers!

Not sure if I discussed this entirely, but here is some more info about Twizzlers I had found.  Thanks.  Just wanted to expose the truth about products that contain gluten. After looking at the back of a Twizzler package I noticed the second ingredient to be ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR. If the corn syrup wasn't enough to deter you then looking at the flour content should do the trick.  Now if you know the basics of reading labels and understand that the closer the ingredient to the front to be the most prevalent then you will understand my concern.  I had been eating Twizzlers for many years and had no idea. If you have the gluten allergy, I recommend looking closer at products that you have had in your daily diet. Double check you staples or go to's just to double check there gluten free properties. Who knows you might find one like I did and save your body from any further pain or damage.  Man, I am going to miss those sweet delicious twists!
