Is airborne gluten free?

Understanding the complexities of gluten is critical when sensitivities or Celiac disease are present. A common question asked is, “Is airborne gluten free?” The answer is maybe. While the air itself does not contain gluten, if flour or other gluten-containing substances are being used in the vicinity, some particles may become airborne and could potentially be inhaled or ingested, leading to a reaction in those highly sensitive to gluten.
