Gluten-free Popcorn Products Market: Snapshot

The consumption of all gluten-free products has hinged on the rising demand for food products among people with celiac disease or those with marked gluten sensitivity. The global demand for gluten-free popcorn products has witnessed rising impetus from the rising trend of healthy ready-to-eat snacking among worldwide populations of all demographics. On its own, popcorn made from corn is considered gluten-free. However, the processing of popcorn may be source of gluten cross-contamination in which the corn can pick up gluten along any process of the food preparation it goes through.

The use of flavorings and other additives may also cause popcorn to be not free from gluten and the presence even in mild traces can lead to substantial health problems in people with gluten sensitivity. Hence, there has emerged a separate category of gluten-free popcorn.

Gluten-free popcorn brands are introducing new flavors in microwavable popcorns. They are also resorting to advanced review and testing methods to ensure that gluten is within the permissible limit of say 20 parts per million (ppm). Gluten-free popcorn products are soaring in attractiveness among gourmets at fairs and movie theaters.
