Is Bacardi Gluten-Free?

Celiac.com 08/12/2021 - Even with a clear declaration by the FDA that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free, we still get a lot of questions about alcohol, and cocktails. Specifically, we get a lot of questions about various kinds of rum. 

One question we see a lot is about Bacardi. Specifically, is Bacardi gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is yes. Bacardi Rum is considered gluten-free and safe for celiacs. The same is true for other Bacardi Rum flavors, and associated Bacardi Rum products, including Bacardi Rum Punch, Bacardi Cans, Bacardi Pouches. 

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Still, always be careful with any pre-made drink mixes that contain rum, such as those intended for piña coladas — many of these contain gluten ingredients. 

According to the FDA, all distilled spirits, including rum, are gluten-free, so that means Bacardi and other major rums are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. 

Rum distilled from gluten-free sugar cane or other gluten-free ingredients contain no gluten ingredients from start to finish, and are naturally gluten-free.

Remember, unless gluten ingredients are added after distillation, all rum is gluten-free. As always, read labels, and choose carefully.
