Soda That Is Not Gf?

[mytummyhurts]

Does anybody know of any soda that is not gluten free? Just for future reference. Thanks!

I think some rootbeers aren't gluten-free. Other than that, I think a lot of it is that it hasn't been tested. Coca-Cola, for example, hasn't tested Fanta, so they don't verify it as gluten-free. It probably is, but they won't say at this point. Always call on those generic brands.

I believe we decided Diet Cherry Coke is NOT gluten-free because it was not on the verified list sent to someone by Coca-Cola. It may be gluten-free but if they don't come right out and say it is, I don't trust it.

Coca-Cola hasn't found that any of their products are not gluten-free, but many have not been tested, such as Fanta that I mentioned. Additionally, those not on the list may have trace amounts of gluten, but are consistently low enough to be considered gluten-free. They're just covering their rears so they won't generally come out and say it if you e-mail.

Just for future reference, all soft drinks made by Pepsi, Co. are gluten-free. That of course, applies not only to Pepsi, diet Pepsi, etc., but all the other SODA PRODUCTS, such as Sierra Mist, Mountain Dew, Mug Root Beer, and all varieties of Pepsi (Pepsi Twist, Vanilla, One, Wild Cherry, Diet, etc.):

Remember that this does not apply to other beverages, just the soda/carbonated beverages. This information is available by going to the "ask lisa" section of the website. Type in "gluten" and they'll give yo the option to ask "Do your products contain gluten?" The answer (the corn syrup they refer to is about corn gluten, not gluten that hurts us):

There is no gluten in any soft drink produced by Pepsi-Cola Company in North America. Although high fructose corn syrup is derived from corn, the technology used in making this sweetener completely removes the protein fractions, leaving no residuals in the finished sweetener.

This applies to corn gluten and glutens that hurt us, such as wheat.

Yay, Pepsi! I guess I'll stick to them as much as possible just to be sure. Of course, I should stop drinking pop all together.

From Coca Cola, "Please be assured that ALL Coca Cola products in the US and Canada are gluten free"

Crappers.... Is my Sprite okay? I'd die without it !

It is...if you e-mail Coca-Cola they'll send you an e-mail like this:

Thank you for contacting The Coca-Cola Company.

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 less than 200 ppm (0.02%)

gluten. Codex has examined the data and determined that less than 200 ppm

gluten is below the level in which people with celiac disease would

experience adverse reactions. However, 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

and exposures below this level are not expected to result in damage to

the majority of gluten-sensitive individuals. 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.

I thought Dr. Pepper was not gluten-free.

[KaitiUSA]

celiac3270, ODD, I didn't get THAT specific of an e-mail response. Just the above quoted response was all I got in response to my e-mail.

[celiac3270]

That's weird. Usually they give the above response or something very similar with just a few changes in wording. Sometimes they give you the below part about other products, sometimes just the products that they gurarantee are gluten-free.

[Guest nini]

hmmmm, It was a while ago. I didn't save the e-mail, just the response that I got. Weird!

[KaitiUSA]

I got the response that celiac3270 posted
