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.
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.

The Gluten-Free Revolution
The gluten-free movement has gained significant traction in recent years, driven by increasing awareness of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and a general preference for healthier eating habits.

Popcorn, a whole grain, naturally gluten-free snack, has gained widespread popularity due to its satisfying crunch, versatility, and lower calorie content compared to many other snack options. This inherent gluten-free status positions popcorn as an ideal choice for those following gluten-free diets.
