The oil doesn't have *much* protein, but enough that a lot of people do react to it. It's kind of the same situation as barley malt, which is made from sprouted barley and so has little protein in it, but it sure does make people sick! It's important to remember that for a sensitive person, it doesn't have to be a complete protein to cause problems ... protein fragments, peptides, are enough to cause a problem and homeopathic amounts are enough to cause a reaction.

(I stand ready to be corrected, though. :) Iherb sells a Vitamin E oil (NOW, I think) that comes from sunflower seed. Unfortunately, most supplements of Vit E are wheat or soy. :P As I understand it, the consensus is that wheat germ isn’t gluten free. (I
