Gluten Free Coffee & Tea

We ran 459 coffee & tea through our gluten free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 12 don't make it.

Coffee and tea are naturally gluten-free, and nearly everything plain passes. The exceptions are cereal-based coffee substitutes made from barley or rye, plus a few malted bedtime drinks filed on the same shelf. Read those two labels; relax about the rest.
