No expert here but confectioners sugar contain gluten also. check ingredients to be certain. There are brands out on the market that are completely gluten free, so before using for royal icing check your labels. 

Confectioners sugar in the US contains gluten?!? How can that be, as gluten is a protein in wheat? Is there flour in your confectioners sugar?

I can only tell for Germany, of course, but there is absolutely no gluten in confectioners sugar over here. Some producers don't guarantee this, as their sugar is produced in the same factories as flour products and some microscopic particles might get into the sugar after all. But this is the same as products being labeled "might contain traces of nuts" or the like.

Maybe gluten would be a nice topic for a "toolbox talk" one of the next times

 

gluten and /or confectioners sugar.

Am just trying to think of a way to test confectioners sugar
