Coke is safe to drink if you require a Gluten Free diet and do not react to less than 200 ppm of gluten.
The Coca-Cola company makes this statement on their website:
"We are able to confirm that, in the U.S. and Canada, the following products are gluten free:
Coca-Cola classic caffeine free Coca-Cola classic Coca-Cola Blak Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla Coca-Cola C2 Coca-Cola with Lime Coca-Cola Zero Barq's root beer caffeine free Barq's root beer diet Barq's root beer diet Barq's Red Creme Soda Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke Diet Coke with Lime caffeine free Diet Coke Diet Coke Sweetened with Splenda Sprite Diet Sprite Zero Cherry Coke Diet Cherry Coke Fresca DASANI Lemon Minute Maid Light Lemonade Simply Lemonade Simply Limeade POWERade Mountain Blast and 100% of juice products (without added ingredients) are gluten free.
Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per million) (0.02%) gluten. Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard and we are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free."
NOTE: The standard has been revised downward to 20ppm instead of 200ppm, although full compliance is not required until 2012. The current proposed standard of the FDA that has the most support is also 20ppm of gluten for a GF product.
Yes, but 'gluten free' isn't the same as '0% gluten.' In the USA, GF is typically less than 20 parts per million of gluten. Some people who are highly sensitive to gluten have reported reacting to coke and diet coke in the past.

"Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten
- free , which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per million) (0.02%) gluten . Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard and we are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten - free .
"We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten
in all these other products is very low - perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufactured from plants that gluten -sensitive people could react to, so we are unable to state categorically that they are totally gluten - free even though they may have undetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very low threshold for gluten content. However, extremely gluten -sensitive individuals should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.

All forms of Coke are gluten free in every country on earth. Gluten automatically means wheat. There is no wheat used in Coca-Cola in any way, shape or form. Please take the time to learn what a term actually means before wondering if it is connected with this or that.

Yes :)
Yes.
yes and all Pepsi SOFT DRINKS are gluten free.

No gluten
I have Celiac Disease and because of that I have to stay on a gluten-free diet. Gluten grows on the wheat plant so I have also told people that I am allergic to wheat products. A gluten-free diet is also a wheat-free diet. But gluten is also in rye, oats and barley.
A number of new gluten free diet books have a section featuring quinoa. Some of these books include '4 Ingredients Gluten Free', 'Easy Gluten' and 'Your Wheat Free Gluten Diet Plan'.
A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes foods containing gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, malts, and triticale.
A gluten free diet is very effective for ulcerative colitis. Since ulcerative colitis is an intolerance to gluten, one with this condition would benefit greatly from a gluten free diet.
Of course you can as long as they are gluten free :)
Pepsi does not contain any form of gluten in it, but Coke does. Coke can label itself as Gluten free because it has less than 200 pp of gluten in it but it does still contain some traces. Whereas Pepsi does not contain any.
no gluten wheat inn foods
