No they are different. Maizena is cornstarch while maize meal is corn meal. Cornstarch is usually used as a thickener while corn meal is used as part of a breading mixture to make it crispier or as an ingredient to make corn cakes.muffins.

Thickeners in the 1400 -- 1450 range are made from starch and therefore may be derived from wheat. If wheat derived, thickeners contain very small levels of detectable gluten, and so are considered not gluten free. If derived from maize, potato, tapioca or rice then they are gluten free. Thickeners may also be called modified starch or dextrins (thickener 1400). If the source of the thickener is wheat (or another gluten-containing grain), then it should be avoided on a gluten free diet.
