Is there a gluten free yeast?

Answer 1

Not as such, Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat and spelt. BUT yeast (a fungus) is frequently cultured in sugar solutions made from wheat and may therefore be contaminated with Gluten from the wheat.

Answer 2

No. That doesn't mean that commercial yeast won't have gluten in it. Yeast primarily comes from beer breweries, and there's no gluten in rice. However, malted barley has gluten in it.

Sourdough uses yeast from the air, and if you maintain your sourdough culture with gluten-free ingredients, it will be a source of fresh gluten-free yeast.
