Milk
- Milk: The chocolate in M&M’s Milk Chocolate is made with dairy milk, which is a common allergen that can affect those with lactose intolerance or milk protein allergies.
Soy
- Soy lecithin is often added as an emulsifier in chocolate, helping to blend ingredients. Individuals with soy allergies should be cautious.
Peanuts
- Although not a primary ingredient, M&M’s are produced in facilities that may process peanuts, leading to trace contamination which can trigger allergic reactions in peanut-sensitive individuals.
Tree Nuts
- Similar to peanuts, there is potential for cross-contact with tree nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts) during manufacturing, making it important for those with tree nut allergies to check packaging details.
Wheat/Gluten
- While wheat is not an intentional ingredient in the milk chocolate, manufacturing processes in shared facilities can lead to trace amounts of gluten, which is significant for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Artificial Colors
- The candy shell on M&M’s contains artificial color additives to achieve their bright hues. Some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to these synthetic dyes.
