    Celiac.com 11/04/2020 (updated 11/16/2020) - Oreo cookies were introduced in 1912, and have long been the top-selling cookie in the United States. We get a lot of questions from readers and newly diagnosed celiacs who want to know if Oreo cookies are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease.

    Are Oreo cookies gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Most of you Oreo lovers with celiac disease will know the answer to this right off the bat. Sadly, no, Oreo cookies are not gluten-free, and are not safe for people with celiac disease. However, in January 2021 Nabisco is launching two new gluten-free varieties: OREO Gluten-Free cookies and OREO Double Stuf Gluten-Free cookies!

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Most non-gluten-free cookies are made with enriched wheat flour. Unless cookies are clearly labeled "Gluten-Free," they are almost always a red flag. As with so many foods we love, the answer lies in the ingredients. Unless they are made without wheat flour, or gluten ingredients, cookies are rarely gluten-free.

    Oreos are no exception. Here's a breakdown of the various flavors and ingredients in Oreo cookies:

    Oreo cookies contain the following ingredients: sugar, unbleached enriched flour, high oleic canola and palm oil, cocoa, high fructose corn syrup, leavening, cornstarch, salt, soy lecithin, vanillin and chocolate. Allergens: Wheat

    Oreos come in numerous shapes, sizes and colors, including Double Stuff, organic, Mini Oreos and football shaped cookies, among others. Flavors can differ by location, and can include Golden Oreos, cool mint creme, strawberry milkshake, peanut butter and sugar free Oreos.

    All of the above Oreo cookie flavors and colors are made with wheat flour. That mean none of the Oreo cookie flavors are gluten-free, so they are not safe for people with celiac disease.

    If you want gluten-free Oreos you will have to wait until January 2021 when they launch their new gluten-free versions of their OREO Gluten-Free cookies and OREO Double Stuf Gluten-Free cookies!

    If you're looking to bake at home, here's a list of top brands of gluten-free cookie dough.

    For a list of SAFE gluten-free ingredients, please check celiac.com's SAFE Gluten-Free Foods and Ingredients list.

    For a list of UNSAFE gluten-free ingredients, please check celiac.com's UNSAFE Forbidden Non-Gluten-Free Foods and Ingredients list.

    It sounds pretty obvious they're not, but...maybe a bell is ringing in the producer's room right now? Many many cookies have their gluten-free version, what about thinking of an Oreo gluten free one?

    The market is ready, we are ready😉, are they?😁

    Given how many people are gluten-free now it seems like an obvious addition to their offerings.

    There was a really good knockoff that I used to sell when I owned The Gluten-Free Mall called Josef's Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, but they are no longer available.

    I'm not an Oreos fan but my sister, who also has celiac, is. She lives in California so she probably goes with the Trader Joe's brand when she has a craving.

    You'd think Nabisco would get on the gluten-free bus. (shaking my head)

    Yes they are offering “gluten free” Oreos but will they be safe for Celiacs.  I get so exhausted trying to find products that are ACTUALLY gluten free and not just ppm.  Thanks

    We have something in the USA called "liability," which is a huge motivation for large companies with deep pockets to get claims like this right. I trust that they are actually gluten-free.

In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014.
