    What Are Mike and Ikes Candies?

    Mike and Ike are made by a company named Just Born. They not only make Ike and Mike, but they also make Hot Tamales, Peeps, Peanut Chews, and Teenee Beanee candies.

    The company was founded in 1910 in New York. Their candies became popular all over the country. Mike and Ike hit their product line in 1940. You can find Mike and Ike for sale at many grocery stores, movie theaters, gas stations, pharmacies, and vending machines.

    You can find Mike and Ike Candy in many flavors, including:

    • Original Fruit
    • Tropical Typhoon
    • Berry Blast
    • Red Rageous
    • Jolly Joe's

    Answer: Are Mike and Ikes Gluten Free?

    Just Born is a great company that labels its candy when it is gluten free. Mike and Ike's candies are gluten free, and you will see in the photo above and the ingredients label below that they list Mike and Ike Candy as gluten free.

    You can read their allergen statement on their website, which updated their packaging to reflect whether their candies are gluten free. (You can see it in the photo above!)

    If you are on a gluten free diet because you have celiac disease or are gluten sensitive, it is critical to ensure the candy and foods you eat are free from gluten ingredients and in manufacturing.

    This candy is a great, safe option for kids! If you are trick or treating, this is a good candy to hand out because most kids with food allergies can eat it. There are no declared allergens in this brand of candy.
