                                According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, pure, raw sugar is naturally gluten-free. The question 'does sugar contain wheat?' often arises from concerns about processed products and additives. While derived from plants like sugarcane and beets, the refining process removes all wheat and gluten, but risks like cross-contamination exist, especially with certain specialty sugars.
