So I was looking at the safe alcohol list and neither smirnoff or bacardis was on it. Does this mean that they contain gluten? Thanks.

All Smirnoff and Bacardi liquors (their malted drinks like Smirnoff Ice are not) are gluten-free. In fact, virtually all liquor is gluten-free because of distilling.

No list that you read has every single gluten-free item in the world. This is why you ask questions and call companies.

Based on what I've read Richard is correct. Here are some of the source documents I've found...

The gist of these articles is that the Gluten peptide is to large to make it through the distillation process. HOWEVER, some celiacs have still reported problems drinking distilled alcohol from grain based beverages. So, try at you own risk.

I have had no problems with Whiskey or Scotch
