Can celiacs eat M&Ms?

Celiacs can eat many "M" candies like plain, peanut, caramel, and peanut butter M&M's, as well as Milky Way Midnight, but must strictly avoid pretzel, crispy, and some holiday M&M's, as well as regular Milky Way (which contains barley malt), as gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye, making most baked goods and many processed foods unsafe. Always check labels, as cross-contamination and hidden gluten are risks, but naturally gluten-free items like fresh meats, fruits, veggies, dairy, and plain M&M's are safe.
