Celiac.com 01/05/2023 - What cake or cookie can't be improved with some bright, colorful sprinkles? You know sprinkles, right, those colorful confectionary apostrophes of sugary delight? We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free, especially when it comes to baking products and ingredients.
As we move into the heart of baking season, we've seen a lot of questions asking if sprinkles are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. So, are sprinkles gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?
Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Most baking sprinkles are made with sugar, confectioners’ glaze, coloring, and carnauba wax, which don’t contain gluten. They can contain thickeners as well, but most are corn-based so are gluten-free.
A number of brands label their products as glute-free, while others don't but list no gluten or wheat allergens.
As always, read labels and avoid any gluten ingredients.
