Milk
- This chocolate is made with milk and milk products, which are common allergens for individuals with milk protein sensitivities or lactose intolerance.
- Even small amounts can trigger reactions, so those allergic to dairy should avoid these chocolates.
Soy Lecithin
- Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier to improve texture and extend shelf life, but it is a soy derivative that can cause reactions in allergic individuals.
- People with soy allergies should consider this ingredient when choosing chocolate products.
Peanuts
- Hershey’s Kisses are produced in facilities that may also handle peanuts, leading to possible cross-contamination even if peanuts are not an intended ingredient.
- This can be risky for people with severe peanut allergies and should be taken into account.
Tree Nuts
- Similar to peanuts, trace amounts of tree nuts can be present due to shared manufacturing equipment and facilities.
- Even if nuts are not directly added, cross-contact may cause issues for those with tree nut allergies.
Wheat/Gluten
- While Hershey’s Kisses do not necessarily contain wheat as a primary ingredient, facilities may process wheat-containing products.
- This can lead to trace amounts of gluten, posing concerns for individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease.
Eggs
- Eggs may not be a direct ingredient in the classic milk chocolate formula, but may be present in the production environment if processed alongside other products.
- Those with egg allergies should be cautious due to the potential, albeit low, risk of cross-contact.
