I contacted Starbucks to ask which of their products contain gluten
ingredients. I made it clear in my question that I was looking for
information about ingredients in their products, not about an actual claim
of "gluten free" status. This is their response:
Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.
Starbucks is unable to guarantee a "gluten-free" environment in our retail
locations due to the potential for cross contamination with
gluten-containing products. The open environment and operating procedures of
our store locations may present additional risk for gluten-sensitive
customers aside from the gluten-containing ingredients themselves.
"Gluten-free" is a claim with specific requirements defined by government
agencies and industry standards. We are unable to make this claim on a
product unless the item is specifically formulated and manufactured to meet
the definition of the claim.
If you have any further questions or concerns that I was unable to address,
please feel free to let me know.
Warm Regards,
Jeffrey H
