What makes Starbucks creamer gluten-free?

Starbucks creamers are gluten-free because all the ingredients used in their production have no gluten. Starbucks dairy creamers are made from milk, heavy cream, vegetable oil, natural flavorings, gellan gum, and sugar. Starbucks non-dairy creamers generally contain guar gum, gellan gum, vegetable oil, natural flavorings, sugar, plant-based milk, and preservatives. None of these ingredients contain gluten in them.

Most people are usually concerned about guar gum and gellan gum in these creamers, but Starbucks uses the natural form of both of these gluten-free ingredients.

Can you have any Starbucks creamer while following a gluten-free diet?

Yes, you can have Starbucks creamers while on a gluten-free diet. All Starbucks creamers, both dairy and non-dairy, are gluten-free, as none of their components contain gluten. What you add to your coffee beside the creamers will determine if you’ll still be on track with your gluten-free diet.

Can you have any Starbucks creamer when you have celiac disease?

Yes, it is safe to have Starbucks creamer when you have celiac disease. However, it is crucial to consult your doctor before having any Starbucks creamers. Besides celiac, gluten-related disorders, such as gluten ataxia, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, dermatitis herpetiformis, or wheat allergy, can have these creamers in their coffee. Again, receiving a go-ahead from your doctor first if you’re suffering from any of these conditions is critical.
