Finding a gluten-free breakfast on the go isn't easy. Let's deep dive into Starbucks egg bites and if, in fact, they are gluten-free.

If you look at the Starbucks menu, you can see that they offer quite a variety of breakfast menu items. Most are obviously NOT gluten-free, but let's look a little close into their sous vide egg bites.

Cross-contact risk.

While the Starbucks egg bites are considered gluten-free since they contain no gluten or wheat ingredients, there is still a risk of cross-contact, which can make these egg bites considered not safe for someone with a wheat allergy or celiac disease.

Starbucks warms the egg bites before serving them, and employees usually handle them with tongs. These tongs often touch a variety of other items that are warmed up throughout the day, including gluten. It is always best practice to ask the employee nicely to use a new set of tongs when handling your egg bites to help reduce the possibility of cross-contact.

Other dietary and allergen risks.

  • Vegetarian. - Both the kale and mushroom and the egg white and roasted red pepper egg bites at Starbucks are listed as being vegetarian.
  • Dairy. - All varieties of Starbucks egg bites contain dairy and are not to be considered safe for someone with a dairy allergy.
  • Eggs. - All of the Starbucks egg bites contain actual egg products and are not to be considered safe for someone with an egg allergy.

Conclusion.

In conclusion, Starbucks egg bites are considered to be gluten-free and generally safe to consume for those who are gluten-free or that have celiac disease. As with anything having to do with eating out gluten-free, it's always best to ask your local location any questions before ordering and consuming to evaluate your own personal risk.
