MartyID,

Pure soy does not contain gluten.

Thanks for the reply, Rheanna. As I have Celiac, a number of foods contain soy. As a result, I was concerned.
Regards, Marty

Just for clarity, would you consider the genetically modified soy found in most processed foods pure? If your answer is no, does the GMO soy contain gluten?

"Genetically modified" is a general term. It doesn't say anything about which genetic material has been modified. I have no idea what has been modified in any specific batch of soy or any other product. All I know is that soy has no gluten. If you wish to go out of your way to choose products that are specifically labeled "not-genetically modified" so that you can be sure that no wheat genetic material has been added to them, then that's fine. But that's a topic for another discussion.
