Why Gluten-Free Colour Powder Is a Must for Your Next Event
“We did a colour festival a few years ago and the powders turned out to be wheat-based and all the coeliacs were sick for days. It was awful.”
We recently heard from someone who had a very unpleasant experience with another supplier’s colour powder. Unlike our Holi Colour Powder, which is made with safe cornstarch, theirs was made from wheatstarch. For anyone with a gluten allergy, this can cause serious problems.
A colour run or celebration should be about fun, creativity, and connection - not hidden health risks. If you or someone in your group has a gluten sensitivity or coeliac condition, the wrong powder can turn a joyful event into a dangerous one.
The Hidden Problem in Some Colour Powders
Most people associate gluten with food. But gluten can also be present in non-food products, including colour powders used in fun runs, festivals, and parties. When these powders are tossed into the air or come into contact with skin, they can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals, ranging from mild irritation to serious allergic responses.
Australian Wheatstarch is NOT GLUTEN FREE
Exposing guests to gluten, especially in school or community events where inclusivity and safety are top priorities. Australian wheatstarch and cornstarch are not the same. They are distinct products made from different grains. Wheat starch is a by-product of vital gluten manufacture or isolated from wheat flour and is primarily used in baking. Cornstarch is made by grinding the starchy part of the corn kernel (maize) into a fine powder. Since corn is a gluten-free grain, cornstarch in its pure form does not contain gluten.
Why It Matters More Than You Think
Gluten allergies aren’t just about what you eat. They’re about what you touch, breathe, and absorb. For someone with a coeliac condition, even trace amounts of gluten can cause inflammation, discomfort, and long-term health issues. That’s why choosing a gluten-free colour powder isn’t just a nice-to-have - it’s a must-have.
Whether you’re organising a birthday party, school fun run, charity event, or any other celebration, you want every participant to feel safe and included, and that starts with the products you choose.
