There is a new cherry and vanillia flavored coke out. It looks great. Since all other cokes are ok, does anyone know if this one is okay???

[MACE]

Coke has gluten in it, they can say gluten free if the % is low enough. I called them and that is what they told me.

Really all coke contains Gluten?

[minibabe]

I just found this in one of the emails that I recieved a long time ago......maybe you can contact them and see if the new flavor is gluten-free

"We are able to confirm that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic,
Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeine
free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, Diet Sprite Zero, vanilla Coke,
diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (without
added ingredients) are gluten free.

Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's
definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per
million) (0.02%) gluten. Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard and
we are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free.

We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in these products is very low
- perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufactured
from plants that gluten-sensitive people could react to, so we are unable to
state categorically that they are totally gluten-free even though they may have
undetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very low
threshold for gluten content. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individuals
should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.

We hope that this information is helpful. Should you have additional questions
or comments, please visit our website again.

That is the gluten free coke list I have too. I've always had the cherry coke or regular and haven't had a problem. I was just wondering if anyone has confirmed the new black cherry vanillia coke. (it's two flavors in one)

[hez]

I e-mailed them. If I get a reply I will post it!

Coca Cola finally responded to my email. They informed they would have to "research" my question and get back to me. It seems like they have not tested it yet to see if it contains gluten

Really? Has anyone else received a response like this?

[Mahee34]

that's weird, because a lot of people that i know use sprite when they aren't feeling well due to gluten.....i've never heard that coke wasn't gluten free before, i find this very strange...

[lovegrov]

As you saw in the list, there are certain ones that Coke will "guarantee" as gluten-free. Coke used to say ALL of their drinks were gluten-free but then changed their tune. I suspect (as do many others) that all their drinks are still gluten-free, but they won't "guarantee" the ones with ingredients they don't have as much control over because a lawyer told them not to.

I am NOT telling anybody to drink any drinks they won't say are gluten-free, but you'll note they say that the gluten content might even be zero. It probably is.

Ya it does seem strange coke does have gluten in it.

darn, I was hoping the new cokes would be ok. I'll just have to wait until they clarify it.

[Ashley]

I love it! I brought a whole case of it about two weeks back or so. You're kidding---no. Sorry if it has gluten in it. I'm not giving up cokes. Anyway, I've had no problems with any Coca-Cola brand drinks! I've hated the fear of the caramel coloring in the cokes having gluten in them.

I really don't like "Codex's definition of gluten-free". Even though it may contain 0.02% of gluten, there's still gluten in it. Oh well. It's fustrating enough.

Well, if the Caramel color is made in the United States, then, it is probably gluten-free. I remember reading something about it where they use corn instead of wheat. But, you never know.
