The full answer

Yes — corn is naturally gluten-free

Corn, in its natural forms (corn on the cob, cornmeal, corn tortillas made purely from corn), is naturally gluten-free and a common substitute base in gluten-free cooking and baking.

Where labels still matter

As with other naturally gluten-free grains, processed corn products (some corn tortillas and chips blend in wheat flour) should still be checked — see how to tell if a packaged food is gluten-free.
