Let’s find out…

Is Vimto Gluten Free?

The Answer is: Questionable*

 

Yes, Vimto is considered gluten-free because the company states it contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten. However; users have reported reactions to this drink, so if you have Coeliac Disease we recommend avoiding Vimto.

According to the Vimto FAQ page:

Vimto is classed as gluten-free. There is a very small amount of gluten present which carries through from the barley malt used in its manufacture, but the level is far below the threshold above which it would be considered to contain gluten (20 parts per million).
