                                While corn in its pure form is naturally gluten-free, the gluten-free status of a crunchy corn snack is not guaranteed and requires careful attention to ingredients and manufacturing processes. The journey from a whole corn kernel to a crunchy, flavored snack can introduce risks, especially for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance.
