Due to some stomach distress this morning I thought back on the foods I ate while camping over the weekend. I couldn’t think of anything odd, other than maybe the hot chocolate.

Well, I tried to look it up on the internet, but I couldn’t find the information on the Nestle website, and there were some opposing opinions on celiac message boards.

I called Nestle and asked their representative, Lisa, if the hot cocoa was gluten free. She said that it contains no gluten containing ingredients, even in their natural flavorings, and that they wouldn’t hide that information from consumers. Lisa did say that the drink mix is made on equipment that processes wheat products. She also reminded me that the best, and most up to date, information about their products are right on the box.

So, while I am still in the dark about what upset my stomach, I at least have some current information on the Nestle Hot Cocoa for all of us.
