Current Gluten-free policy of Starbucks as of March 2010:
Peter, a customer service representative for Starbucks, stated over the phone in March 2010 that Starbucks will no longer state that any of the drinks they serve are gluten free. They state "We do not claim that any of our beverages are gluten free because we use shared equipment and handle gluten and allergens throughout the store".

Customers can get ingredient information by asking their barista or calling 1-800-23_LATTE

The Blended Light Frap Mix contains gluten. The regular Frappuccino base mix does not contain gluten. Read the following blog, which also has a written response from Starbucks discussing their current policy. May, 2010
