No, gluten is a plant protein. Some people are allergic to it and must avoid it.
Gluten comes from wheat, not meat.
no, Wheat gluten, also called seitan, wheat meat, mock duck, gluten meat, or simply gluten, is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat. It is made by washing wheat flour dough with water until all the starch dissolves, leaving insoluble gluten as an elastic mass which is then cooked before being eaten.
Gluten is a protein that only occurs in WHEAT (Cereal crops) thus all meat is gluten free.
Germ is not the same as gluten, but it contains gluten. In any case, wheat products, even if handled carefully, are almost guaranteed to have gluten in them due to cross-contamination.
No. Vital wheat gluten is the primary ingredient of wheat gluten (seitan), used by vegetarians as an alternative to meat. You can use a little vital wheat gluten to increase the gluten content of cakes, but you cannot make cakes solely with vital wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is used to provide stickiness or sponginess when using whole grains that have insufficient gluten by themselves, or to increase the chewiness of breads. Pure gluten flour or vital wheat gluten or powdered gluten, however, is intended for those who wish to make their own wheat gluten from scratch. It is often mislabelled as gluten flour, which itself has more gluten than flour but not enough to make seitan. See related links, below, for more information.

When you are trying to decipher whether or not a food contains gluten, the first place to look is on the front of the container. Some foods are made to be gluten free so they will have a gluten free label (GF) or say "Gluten Free!". If there isn't any sign of this, the next place to look is in the nutrition facts. Look in the ingredients list. If it says "wheat, wheat flour, enriched wheat flour, or Contains Wheat" anywhere, this food is a definite no. But if you are more sensitive to gluten you may have to look even further and see if it is processed in a facility that handles wheat, or if there are any added preservatives or any other wheat substitute that contains gluten to be absolutely sure your food is gluten free. :)
No, wheat flour contains gluten and is not gluten-free.
