All coffee, regular and decaf, is naturally gluten-free. However, when it comes to the ingredients (usually hidden with words like "natural and artificial flavors") used to created the flavor, these are usually not gluten-free. I personally love flavored coffee and do not think adding a flavored creamer is not the same. So, I sent an email to my favorite coffee company to inquire. This is the email I received in return:

Dear Ms. Cordell,

Thank you for contacting The J.M. Smucker Companyregarding our Millstone® coffee products. For over 110 years, consumer safety and product quality have been of paramount importance to our company.

Coffee is not a source of gluten and our Millstone®roast and ground coffee items are produced in a dedicated facility where no other types of agricultural crops are handled or processed. However, due to the use of common equipment within the agricultural community to harvest, store and transport crops, our roast and ground products may contain trace amounts of grain-based ingredients.

Additionally, our flavored coffee products may contain added ingredients that are not gluten free.

Thank you again for your interest. We hope that you will continue to enjoy our products for years to come. If you should have further questions or need additional information, please visit us at www.millstone.com or contact us at 800-522-7894, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Sincerely,

Jake

Consumer Relations Representative

Most responses from the coffee manufacturers will be the same - they mention the agricultural practices and cross contamination, which generally isn't a problem but keeps them from being able to claim their product is gluten-free. The real problem with the flavored coffees is the ingredients used to create the flavor. Until we are made aware of what those ingredients are and can verify if they are gluten-free or not, we have to assume they are not safe.

If you have Celiac, you should avoid flavored coffees unless they state on their package they are gluten-free.

Bummer.

Does coffee have gluten?

There is no straightforward answer here. Coffee is naturally gluten-free; however, flavorings are sometimes added to it that contain gluten. There are several brands of coffee that are produced in 100% gluten-free facilities, and those may be worth checking into. BUT I, personally, have celiac disease and have had problems drinking even "gluten-free" coffee. After reading many blogs on the topic, a large number of other celiacs have also claimed a sensitivity to coffee. I think that even among celiacs, it depends on the person.


Is Dunkin' Donuts oatmeal gluten free?

I have recently been diagnosed with Celiacs Disease, and have been looking a lot of things up on the internet about foods and drinks that are safe for someone like me. I was surprised to find that this question has not been answered. I would like to answer it. I believe it is safe to say that coffee is NOT GLUTEN FREE! Due to the fact that most coffee contains barley, which does contain gluten, unless otherwise stated on the label. I would also like to share with all people that have Celiacs Disease or any allergic reaction to gluten that if you love coffee and would like to drink it, try Teeccino Mediterranean Herbal Coffee. It is 75% organic, gluten free and is caffiene free too. And it tastes DELICIOUS!!!! :)


Is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters coffee gluten free?

While coffee beans themself are gluten-free, it's possible that it's come in contact with gluten during processing. it All coffee is not guaranteed gluten-free. It is strongly recommended that you contact the brand company to specifically ask about cross-contamination or oils used to flavor the coffee. Some companies will dust their manufacturing lines with flour to keep the beans rolling along, and oils can have gluten in them. When in doubt, always contact the company.Gluten is the general name used to describe proteins found in wheat and other cereal grains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten
