Where does the gluten come in to play. Isn't this product made of corn? Is it the fact that it is produced in a factory where there is wheat?

I believe it may be that all grains have small amounts of gluten. Not enough so that it can be raised by yeast, only wheat has it in high enough quantities. Strictly speaking, wheat does not contain gluten. It contains two proteins gliadin and glutenin, when these proteins are mixed with water and kneaded only then is gluten formed.

I did call the company about non GMO. That was my main concern. They were very helpful and assured me all of the corn coming in was tested. I am sure if you contact them they will give you the answers you need.

Corn doesn't contain wheat gluten. Corn Gluten is a totally different thing, not related to the gluten that so many people claim to be sensitive to. Gluten of any kind isn't a factor for me. I'm not sensitive to it so the miniscule amount of wheat gluten that might find its way into the corn flour in the factory is not a concern for me.

If you don't have Celiac disease, gluten doesn't matter. There's no such thing as sensitivity. It's a nocebo effect. Look it up.

Yes, that's correct. The corn not designated gluten free may have been milled where wheat was milled before (this is the same problem oats, which do not contain gluten). There are people with celiac sprue who cannot tolerate any wheat at all without causing damage to their intestines. For people avoiding gluten because of intolerance, it may or may not make a difference. Bob's Red Mill has dedicated equipment :)

The product made for export comes from a facility that also processes wheat products. The actual ingredients do not contain wheat, but there can be trace amounts that get in there. If you have a serious allergy I would be cautious, but for the most part there is no gluten.

Don't know much about the Gluten issue but the label says it is a product made from non-GMO Safflower oil.

Hi Stargazer. Thanks for your question. This product is derived from wheat. Please let us know how else we can serve you.

A competitor has answered some questions here falsely. It never contained corn and it's been gluten-free (all flavors) since January 2015. It is entirely allergen-free.

Hello Joyce, we have the ingredient list on the page, in the "Important Information" Section. We have clarified it highlighting the fact it has wheat, so it is not gluten free. Thank you for your helpful input!

Hi Dee, it has wheat gluten, whole grain soy flour, modified wheat starch, and unprocessed wheat bran. Let me know if you need any additional info. Have a great day! Nancy

Sorry. I am not a food technologist. The only thing that I can tell you is that the label does indicate any wheat products. But then nor does it have the statement "gluten Free" on the container. Try contacting the manufacturer's web site WWW.hoosierhillfarm.com or call the company in Ft Wayne, Indiana. Good luck jw

I think it's just a higher protein flour, not vital wheat gluten. I buy the later at Sprouts grocery in the Bob's Red Mill products section.

It does not claim to be gluten free so I assume is not. It does contain wheat.

I guess they use gluten free soy sauce. I know you can buy that. They make it without wheat.

This product has wheat that is non GMO - however anything with wheat will have gluten - so the answer is yes it does contain gluten. I try to not eat gluten but I do take this supplement and it is amazing! Any questions on this product you can call 1-866-280-2852 - Life Extension.

I didn't see where it is labelled gluten free but it is 100% ground corn. My understanding is that corn is a gluten free vegetable. Youcandecide for yourself. Tastes delicious if made with milk and not water. Your preference. It is delicious and I would re-order.

Apparently, word is on the Bob's site that it is now produced on lines shared with wheat flour, so it is contaminated with gluten. I would avoid it if you are super sensitive until you can speak with Bob's Red Mill directly to verify otherwise.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Corn has no gluten so it is always gluten free.

This is a completely natural product; dirt and seeds. ... and, I just checked the package and right on front it says "no wheat gluten", so, I think there is your answer. My cats enjoy this product very much and it is a constant part of their diet. My cats do not have special dietary needs however and I think you would need to check with your vet to see if this is a good product for your cat if they do have special needs. I love this product from it's simple packaging to the fact that it is 100% American Made, to the fact that it distracts my cats from the plants I don't want them near and also gives them a healthy natural boost. My cats are indoor only, so I think this rounds out their diets.

It's just gluten free, not vegetarian. There is no indication as to the source of the fats used to make the product. However, if the product were also vegetarian it would likely be noted as such.
