Masa Harina

[KarenFe]

I really like making my own corn tortillas from masa harina. Is there any masa that is gluten free? I have searched and searched and can not find any with a statement saying it is a gluten-free product. It seems like a product that would easily be gluten-free.

Thank you,

Karen

Maseca

I saw on a gluten free website (blog) that Maseca was gluten free. I tried to look at the company website but could not find anything about FAQ's or Gluten Free...have seen on some other websites that they say its Gluten Free.

Might be something to look into, hope this helped some.

GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you! I went to the web site:

I did not see anything mentioned in the Tortilla Industry section but did find a mention of gluten in the Cracker Industry FAQ section:

Does corn masa flour contain gluten?

No, corn masa flour is gluten free.

This is the product I am looking at:

Although there seems to be many different corn flours and I am not sure which one would be considered gluten-free. I'm still looking into it and will let you know what I find. Home made tortillas are so yummy and I really hope I can keep making them.

I got a very speedy reply (about 20 minutes after I sent my question to them). This is what was said:

Good morning:

Thank you for your question. MASECA is made from 100% selected corn, and corn is naturally gluten-free. The package has a gluten-free symbol on the panel with the nutritional information.

We do not process any other type of grains in our plants other than corn. However, the U.S. agricultural system does use the same vehicles to transport different grains, so the chance of cross contamination is minimal but it does exist.

We hope this answers your question. Please let us know if you need anything else.

Regards.

Thanks for directing me to this brand.
