There were quite as few requests that I summarize what I heard back about
the amount of gluten found in malt and malt extract.

Thanks to Diane Hosek for providing the answer from a research study.

 

To summarize, there can be quite a bit of gluten in malt flavoring.   In
this study that examined "how much gluten" , Malt syrup and malt extracts
registered between 1800 ppm to 2000 ppm gluten.    Wheat starches had gluten
content ranging from 10 ppm to >5000 ppm.    Finally, products that were
labeled as wheat "free" or gluten "free" showed levels ranging from 10 ppm
to 277 ppm.. 

 

The link to the complete study abstract follows:   http://tinyurl.com/5z9tm7
