Is popcorn gluten free?
Popcorn Question: Is popcorn gluten free?
Popcorn itself is gluten free, but that does not mean that the popcorn
you get is gluten free. The popcorn may have been made and processed
where wheat (aka gluten) was present or some of the flavoring or other
products used to make the popcorn may contain gluten.
If you are on a gluten-free diet, we recommend that you check with the
individual popcorn companies to make sure there is no gluten in the
popcorn before you consume it. Of course, the label on the packaging
is helpful too; if it actually states that it is gluten-free popcorn.
We called a couple of movie theaters in our neighborhood and asked
if their movie popcorn was gluten free. They said yes, but when pressing
them to commit, they were vague and said there was no guarantee, because
of cross-contamination.
So all you people with gluten intolerance proceed with
caution before eating popcorn.
