Starbucks new gluten free breakfast sandwich?

I know they're brand new, but has anyone with Celiac tried the gluten-free Breakfast Sandwiches with Canadian Bacon that Starbucks just introduced?

I asked at my local Sbux this morning and while they are packaged on arrival, they seem to be heated up on a new sheet of paper but in a shared oven (microwave?)  The barista suggested maybe taking it up to my office and microwaving it there, but couldn't confirm that their 'oven' is a microwave vs. something else.  The Starbucks press release says there's no risk of cross-contamination but I know better than to risk it without checking in with you smart folks.

A good, readily accessible breakfast sandwich would be life-changing for me ;-)

Geez.....as usual, European Starbuck's offer way more than their American counterparts but we have crazy liability laws here in the States and people are sue happy here so we may never have these breakfast goodies.  :angry:

Nikki.....I would ask to see the inside of the oven they use.  The ones they use here in the States are very accessible to people standing in line.  If it isn't really clean, then I would probably not use it.  They would have to change their gloves, use clean tongs and clean paper in a clean oven. I have found that the folks working in Bucky's in the UK do a stellar job with cc issues.....that has been my experience.  I hope you can let us know whether you do taste them because I am coming in May and you are right....a nice, good easy breakfast sandwich would be fantastic!

The thing I saw said they are supposed to be able to heat them in the little package they come in.  Then just hand you the packaged sandwich.

Just heard from someone who got one.  Hers was heated in the original bag.  I guess not all Starbucks have well trained employees.  Sigh.  We must always be vigilant

Reporting back that i have had them several times now, with no problem.  I dust off the bag with a napkin before i open it, just in case they used tongs to take it out of the oven, but in general it seems very safe.  Seriously - this is a huge win for me, and likely for others.  Thank you, Starbucks!

I am thrilled to hear this news.  A nice option when away from home.  Now, if Starbucks could develop a chicken wrap like Costa's Coffee (England), we'd be set for lunch!

 We had them this morning.   The  gluten free chipatta bread was delicious.   Both of my kids have celiac disease and  they really enjoyed them. They come in a sealed package that they heat them in.   Here is what  I found online about them:

Gluten-Free Bakery Items at Starbucks

Starbucks has added a gluten-free breakfast sandwich to its menu. The gluten-free smoked Canadian bacon sandwich features "cherrywood-smoked Canadian bacon, a peppered egg patty and reduced-fat white cheddar cheese on a gluten-free roll." According to the company, the sandwich is prepared in a certified gluten-free environment and comes in its own oven-safe parchment bag so that it can be cooked in stores' ovens alongside gluten-y breakfast offerings.

What I've heard sounds like the sandwich itself is pretty well made and adheres strictly to gluten free guidelines. But the question mark comes with the on-sight prep. There is a lot of stuff with gluten at a star bucks. I could see that presenting an issue. But this seems better than any other coffee or donut place has done.

They are awesome! But they are not available at Starbucks at some places--like hospitals. Pity!

I've had them about six or seven times at several different Starbucks locations.  My sister has, also.  Neither one of us have had any signs of getting glutened. They are served in a parchment paper bag that should be handed to you straight from the oven sealed.  I've heard many internet complaints about the bags being dusty, too many ingredients, unhealthy, etc., but honestly, they are pretty darned tasty! And, when you are traveling and hungry, they are even tastier.  They sell out quickly at most Starbucks, but I've been able to purchase one as late at 6 p.m.

I ate one of these for the first time yesterday. Glad to know it was gluten-free, just wish it could have been tastier. It was kind of like cardboard to be honest, difficult to chew and not a lot of flavor. I wonder if it was not heated correctly.

Oh no! I've been saving a gift card to get one someday soon!

I have heard people say they are pretty tasty.  I think they defrost a few everyday.  Might be that they defrosted too many and the one you got was a dry?

I've had them a few times and don't think I've been gluten-ed.   Not bad when you can find them.   They are in a sealed bag.

I've had it twice and it was served to me different each time. The first time it was served warm in a sealed bag. The second time it was served warm, not in a sealed bag, but on their traditional paper. I should have refused the possible contaminated order, but I was hungry and in a hurry so I accepted it. My symptoms are a rash so it's not extreme intolerance, but I can say that I'm disappointed in their inconsistency. ?

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
