No. There is starch in powdered sugar, but it's corn starch. It is gluten-free, which means that it is wheat free. I have used it in GF baking many times without problems.

I've bought powdered sugar before and the following information is based on my experience. Powdered sugar (also called confectioners sugar) is just sugar in a powdered form. No other ingredients are added.
You can also make your own powdered sugar. All you need is a coffee grinder or something similar, and sugar (use white cane sugar). If you make your own you can be sure it contains no wheat.

Read the package!!! I am severely allergic wheat and I usually cannot use powdered sugar because they use wheat and corn to keep the powdered sugar from clumping.

If you take regular sugar and put it into a blender and give it a long 'whirr' it comes out as powdered or confectioner's sugar. No additives, just sugar therefore NO WHEAT.

No it doesn't. It's just sugar ground into a very fine powder.

No, it's usually just chemicals added to sugar. No worse than the ones in candy.
