You might have to contact the companies that manufacture the various brands of cooking oil available to you and ask them if the seeds they extract the oil from ever come in contact with equipment also used to process wheat, barely or rye.

It’s possible anything could get contaminated with gluten, but it’s pretty unlikely that olive, corn, or other naturally gluten-free oils would be contaminated.

Thank you very much for your kind response. Can i buy simple bottled corn oil? Would it be gluten free?

Thank you for your kind response. Actually i emailed many manufactures but no one has responded yet. I don't know what to do now

I have had success with placing a phone call to the companies. The receptionist usually connects me to the right department to address my question. If the department representative I speak to can't answer my question then they will take my phone number and email address for the purpose of getting back to me after researching the question. That has worked well for me here in the USA. I don't always get answers that completely rule out the possibility of cross contamination but I do get a clearer picture of the likelihood of it.

Thank you sir... I wish manufacturers had responded my queries the same ways as you got.

I can't guarantee that a random bottle of corn oil purchased in India would be gluten-free, but again, gluten in oil manufacturing would be bad in many ways...the oil would likely not be clear. I've never heard of wheat oil or barley oil, so I really can't imagine that the machinery used to make corn oil would be used for anything else.

Wheat germ oil does exist, although if refined it should no longer contain gluten. That is the only oil I know of or can find online that might contain gluten.

If the corn oil manufacturer doesn’t also make wheat germ oil the corn oil should be fine.  

If the corn oil manufacturer does make wheat germ oil on the same equipment but the corn oil is refined, it should also be fine.

Yes, I was thinking in terms of cooking oil, but thank you for pointing that out. Corn oil should be safe, as well as olive oil, and others.

Sir it means all corn oils of any brand are gluten free. correct?

[Scott Adams]

As mentioned, I would never make that claim, but am pointing out that gluten in corn oil would be very unlikely.
