Best Answer

For the most part there is no gluten in cornflour or corn flour - cornflour is milled maize (corn), also known as cornstarch in the US. Corn flour is ground maize (corn). Neither should contain gluten, however if they have not been exclusively processed (i.e. no other products are made on the production line), there may be small quantities of gluten in there. The best way to find out a brand of corn flour with no gluten in is to search on the internet and find one that advertises itself as gluten-free.

Yes, I do believe so, I came here looking for this answer myself and after a bit more research I discovered this link: http:/www.coeliac.com.au/gluten-free-diet-information.html it states on there that maize is gluten free. Maize, i.e. corn, is gluten free, but maize flour, i.e. corn flour or corn meal might not be. Wheat flour is commonly added to corn flour and corn meal to enhance its binding quality for baking. Be sure to check the package to ensure that it says "Gluten-free." If it does not say that, check the ingredients to see if any wheat or wheat by-products have been added.

The flours that are gluten free are Tapioca flour, Corn flour, Potato flour, and Rice flour. This is usually a very common question and many people are always confused just because it has the word flour in it. But these flours are defiantly safe as they do not come from wheat.
