Does anyone know if the starbucks bottled frappuccinos you buy at the grocery store are gluten free? And what flavors might be gluten free?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are gluten-free, but they're really sweet!!

Yep, they are gluten free and they are sooo good. Not as good as the ones you get actually at Starbucks though

Have you investigated what is gluten free at Starbucks?? :) flavored coffees etc.

All of their hot drinks are OK--the syrups are all gluten-free. Most of the frappaccino's are too, but there's 1 or 2 that aren't so you have to worry about cc. We just stick with the hot and iced drinks and leave the blended alone.

Can you tell me which ones are not gluten-free? My daughter loves the mocha frappaccino's, but they are blended!

I just talked to 'Dave' in customer services at Starbucks (1-800-23LATTE) and he said that the only gluten containing items they have (besides the bakery/food items) are the frappaccino's--vanilla bean and chocolate chip, the malted frapp. isn't carried anymore and the egg nog they use during the holidays has trace amounts of gluten. Otherwise, all of the syrups ARE gluten-free, specifically the mocha syrup.

Thank you! I just had a choc. chip frappuccino today and got so sick with it. Now I know for sure it was the gluten. I shall stay away from those three from now on.

They are not.  They are not produced with gluten ingredients, but they are manufactured using shared equipment in a factory that has gluten.  I just went through a week of getting extremely sick and the only thing I had different was one small bottled Vanilla Frappuccino a day. I went off other posts on here and thought they were okay.  I couldn't understand what was making me so violently I'll, and it was the only thing that was different.  I went to the manufacturer's website, and it states on there that it is not guaranteed to be allergen free, such as wheat, due to shared equipment.  I stopped drinking the Frappuccinos, and took a Benadryl.  Slowly my symptoms have been subsiding.  Yes, I am that sensitive.

The info on this thread is 8 years old.  So people should always check for more up to date info before eating something.

I had also found that information in other sites as well.  Even PepsiCo, who actually makes these, says they are made without gluten ingredients.  I just missed the small print until I did further digging, and this is the first thing that pops on a search.  I have to go to work at 5 a.m. in the morning, and the bottled frappuccinos were an easy way for me to get my coffee fix without making noise and disturbing my family in the morning.  I work 10 hour shifts with an hour drive there and back, and there isn't a gas station anywhere close.  So, for me this was a great thing to have.  But I am not only allergic to gluten, I have several food allergies.  Which is extremely frustrating.

Hello, OK, I read the thread from 2008, however, it's now 2020!

Reading the info from Starbucks, it says gluten-free.

Now reading your info, it says, Not so! Can you please provide updated info concerning Starbucks bottled cold coffee?

I would greatly appreciate it!

If it is made on lines that make other things containing wheat then it doesn't have to be documented that it is. I just drank a mocha version of it. It didn't have anything close to having gluten free on the label. I'd probably question its status since I just drank one and my eyes are all watery...this is a common reaction for me when products have low level gluten. I discovered it when mexican restaurants lied to me about their chips...and then after several visits of eating chips they would reveal their chips aren't safe.

Hi @Robotman2009, welcome to the forum! If Starbucks is claiming it's gluten-free, then it very likely is. The liability for these companies is just too huge to make the kind of mistake you're describing. 

I definitely agree that chips and other things in Mexican or other restaurants can be a source of contamination. The tortilla chips are usually made with gluten-free ingredients, but are often deep fried in vats where they fry other things, some that may contain gluten.

Robotman2009, 

Dairy can cause a reaction identical to a reaction to gluten in some lucky people.

I've spoken with a few executives at Starbucks.  My step son is one.  No, not gluten free, nothing there is really safe unless pre-packaged and marked gluten free.

Scott Adams Grand Master

Please pass on a message to those Starbucks executives: Wake up! You need more gluten-free options! 

I know they've tried and failed in the past, but it's time to offer good, fresh baked, gluten-free options!

I did ... but no results.  They had the gluten-free egg things for a trial, but stopped those. I'll mention it again though.

Yes, we did an article on this:

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
