                                While most modern school and craft glue sticks are considered gluten-free and made from synthetic polymers, it is always wise for those with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity to be vigilant about all craft supplies. Historically, some adhesives were derived from animal products or plant-based starches that could contain gluten, but this is extremely rare in contemporary, non-toxic products.
