I’m reading this about purina ONE Smart Blend which claims to be Gluten FREE.
I am also looking at the ingrdients on a bag of Purina Smart Bllend and on the first line under ingredients it says…..Salmon, brewers rice, corn GLUTEN MEAL.
Why the contradiction?
Great question! Corn gluten is the protein found corn. It does not have any association with the gluten found in wheat, rye or barley. Corn gluten is gluten-free. Here is a great explanation about corn gluten.

OK, so Corn Gluten is different than other gluten. But ‘corn’ itself is a GM food, and it is very very hard to find a non-GM corn, well you can find to eat yourself, but who knows what kind of corn factories put to produce mass pet food. So we don’t know if they used GM Corn’s gluten or not? I’m confused there.
Corn is usually a genetically modified food product. To find out if a product is GMO you would have to contact the company directly.
