Corn-Free Foods (& Products) List

Rain Crow Grass-fed Beef - removed

2012-01-30T18:21:00.001-06:00

As it turns out, Rain Crow's initial answers on Facebook weren't entirely correct.

The meat is washed in lactic acid and the acid wash is left on for 24 hours (long enough to soak right into the meat - a lactic acid marinade if you will) and then rinsed off with water.

This meat is being removed from the list.

For more info on their process see the full report at Delphi.

Project: Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

2012-01-19T12:00:00.003-06:00

One of our Facebook members had a discussion today with Joel Warady of Enjoy Life Foods about the corn in their Chocolate Chips.

As many of you know the "company line" on this product is that it is "corn-free". We made a post about this product being removed from our list due to numerous reactions to it. The company is denying any such reports.

If you have reacted to this product, PLEASE help us try to convince them..
1. it is NOT corn-free.
2. to make it corn-free.

Please send a polite email to Joel Warady, their Chief Marketing Officer, if you had a reaction to Enjoy Life. We would like to help him understand.

Please include:
1. When you had a reaction (approximate date if you don't remember exactly)
2. Why you think it's their chocolate chips.
3. If you've had any previous correspondence with Enjoy Life on this issue. Please include any details you still have.

* IMPORTANT: Please also make sure to include reference to this post, and @rose_w on Twitter *

Thank you everyone!

Also to help us keep track of how many have made submissions, please comment here if you've sent a letter to him, or leave a comment on this thread in our FB group.

Rain Crow Grass-fed Beef

2012-01-15T16:29:00.006-06:00

Rain Crow Grass-fed beef is a new addition to our list. The beef is entirely grass-fed, and processed in their own processing plant using only water to wash the meat. The packaging has been checked and is corn-free as well. (Their seasoned products were not checked. So use caution with those.)

They can be found at several Whole Foods locations. "Grass-fed beef from Rain Crow Ranch is available in our stores in central Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin."

Products are also available online.

(For the discussion, please visit their Facebook page here)

Stretch Island Fruit Strips

2012-01-13T14:00:00.001-06:00

It seems Stretch Island Fruit strips may be corn-free again. According to an inquiry last fall, the products are corn-free per the company, and the natural flavors are parts of the fruits added back in.

I'll be tentatively adding these back to the list since I've several reports of people doing well on them. If you have reacted to these recently, do let me know asap.

Corn-Free Foods & Products List

Current only at the time of posting (normally, but I'm still way behind so not all the additions submitted have been added, though I have tried to remove all unsafe products that were brought to my attention).

This is not a guarantee of corn-free, but foods that I in conjunction with others have investigated and tested. Since we all have different sensitivities, use this more as a guide and less as a bible. Some of these foods I haven’t tried and have relied on other’s experiences, as some of these products are either not available in my area or I must avoid them for other reasons.

Read labels every time you buy a product, and be cautious. If anyone has had problems with anything listed here, please do let us know. (Thanks to Violets for her work in helping to create this list.)

Some items on the list have reported corn in them (mostly medications). These have been left on the list, with the source of corn noted on the side. These are left on the list as they may be needed in an emergency, and an educated decision is best at these times.

Legend:

MC – Company/Manufacturer confirms or claims product to be corn-free.

MC 10/06 – Date last confirmed with company.

? – Items thought to be corn-free. Successfully eaten by at least one person, but more confirmation is needed.

Untested – Company Confirmed corn-free, but no one has tested it to my knowledge.

Reported Reactions – Reactions have been reported, but may or may not be corn related. Use with caution.

Pocono's Buckwheat Items

2012-01-13T01:45:00.000-06:00

Pocono's Buckwheat items have been removed from our corn-free list. As it turns out, there is a high risk of contamination at the field, grinding, packaging level of these items. There is more information on Delphi about this claim.

Reactions were also posted to this item. One batch will be ok, and then the next isn't. Do use caution, or just don't eat it.

Buckwheat products also under the name Wolff's is also suspect.

2012-01-10T18:24:00.000-06:00

As such, this product should not be considered safe for those needing to be free of gluten, nor is it considered corn-free.

Allergy Research Group - vitamins & supplements

2012-01-09T12:56:00.003-06:00

If you're looking for a Zinc supplement, this one by Allergy Research Group should fit the bill. According to a company response posted on Delphi, this supplement should be corn-free. (Data from July 2011)

"Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose microcrystalline cellulose is from birch tree bark, silicon dioxide is from sand, magnesium stearate from palm see oil.

The zinc is derived from rock."

Here's some information on their other products and ingredients:
"Our calcium and magnesium citrate are free of rice and corn. The facility that the product is bottled in maybe not be free of rice and corn. If you have any other questions please give me sent me an email."

"Cross contamination of minute amounts of materials is a possibility if the facility processing other ingredients with corn or rice to them. The Vitamin B complex, zinc and l-glutamine do not have any corn in them. The ascorbic acid... maybe corn derived."

"Theoretically there is no corn in the ascorbic acid as the source is material is corn but the finished material is a semi synthetic. But we can not say that extremely sensitive people are not going to react."

If you do see ascorbic acid in the ingredients, these products will be corny and should be avoided. There is a chance for cross-contamination with other items, but may or may not be enough to cause problems.

Informed choices are best!

This company response from Ener-G was posted back in 7/2011. There is a risk of all their flours/starches from having corn contamination. For those sensitive to corn contamination, these products should be avoided.

"We do run 1 product on our mix line that contains Corn. It is a corn mix. However we are HCCAP certified and follow the strict guidelines of thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing after each product is run. Saying that however since the Corn Mix is a flour and flour is very hard to get off of every surface we can not guarantee our products to be 100% Corn Free. We do try to the best of our ability to get every nook and cranny cleaned and sanitized.

We can guarantee that we are 100% Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free and Soy Free."

Tropical Traditions - Meats

2012-01-09T12:38:00.000-06:00

This information is about 6 months old. Sorry for the delay. It may need to be reverified, and I don't know if it's been tested, but it looks promising.

"Thank you for contacting Tropical Traditions! Our livestock are processed at several different facilities. Our Chicken, Turkey, and most of the Lamb is sprayed with water only. We use two different processors for our Lamb so they don't have to travel far from the farm to the processor. The Beef and some of our Lamb is sprayed with lactic acid that is not certified organic. The Bison is sprayed with 50/50 white vinegar and water. The vinegar used on the bison is not certified organic. None of the meat is treated with citric acid or salt. Soaker pads are only used on a few cuts of Lamb as protection to keep bone projections from breaking through the packaging. They are not used in any packaging of our meat for the purpose of absorbing blood. Most of our meat is packaged in standard industry vacuum sealed plastic packaging. A few of the bone-in cuts like Beef Shanks are wrapped in a different type of plastic (thin film) and butcher's paper since the bones would break through a vacuum-sealed package. Since the type of packaging used is the same industry standard type packaging, it is most likely not bio-plastic."

As such, it looks like their chicken and turkey should be corn-free. It's possible you may be able to get some safe lamb, but it may be risky as this email didn't specify how to order the safe lamb.

The beef and bison should be considered corny, as well as any lamb meats that use soaker pads.

The vaccum-sealed packaging may or may not have corn starch on it. This would need to be double checked.

A new Corn-Free Magazine

2012-01-01T21:49:00.002-06:00

Due to difficult economic times, which has lead to a lack of time I can devote to the list. I've started an online newsletter/magazine to help pay some bills, so I can devote more of my time here. The first edition will be out on the 15th of this month.

I have great plans for this newsletter, and the more subscribers the more I will be able to do. It should be a time-saver for those of you who aren't able to spend 24/7 in the forums. And while I'm not yet setup for it, I do plan publishing in the newsletter anything I remove or add to "The List" so you won't have to scan the entire list to see what's new (in the future anyway).

I also get offers now and then, and those that subscribe will get first notice/chance at it.

For only $2.99 an issue, direct to your email inbox.

Miss Roben's Products - removed

2011-09-02T17:33:00.000-05:00

We're sad to see it go, but Allergygrocer.com has gone out of business. Thus the removal of these products from the list. These products may be returned to the list in future though..

"The Miss Roben’s brand of allergen free baking mixes, flours, and ingredients has been purchased and will be available in the very near future."

Since these products/brand is now owned by an unknown quanity/company, these products will need to be re-evaluated for their safety.

Amy's Kitchen products - Removed

2011-08-23T12:16:00.000-05:00

We've removed all Amy's products from our corn-free list. They needed to be re-evaluated anyway, but this posting on our Facebook page in response to an inquiry about corn in their products pushed my hand to remove all their products.

"If Amy's Kitchen adds corn to a product or buys an ingredient that lists corn as a component, it will be shown on our ingredient statement. We are aware that very small amounts of corn based ingredients are sometimes used in the manufacture of ingredients. In many of these instances, the FDA does not require that the corn component be labeled therefore we are not made aware of the corn use from our suppliers. If some corn ingredient was used somewhere in the processing of an ingredient and it was not labeled, it is because the use level is very low (considered incidental) and could have been removed during the manufacture of the ingredient. In these instances, we do not believe there is a dangerous level of protein or DNA from the corn as used in our product"

In other words, an ingredient can be processed using corn and Amy's will still label it "corn-free" because they can (legally it is allowed, even if it may not be safe for corn allergies). Amy's corn-free claims are not be trusted at this point, so use extreme caution with any of their products.

(Products may be allowed back onto the list, but only if they pass human-testing first.)

Annie's Mac & Cheese - not entirely corn-free.

2011-08-23T11:58:00.001-05:00

Most Annie's products have been consistently proven to be problematic for those with sensitive corn allergies, and we've had several posts about their seemingly safe looking products being removed from our lists.

Their Mac & Cheese was officially removed a while ago, though it doesn't seem like we made a post about it. The Mac & Cheese looks good on the label but did not pass our human testing sufficiently.

The annatto coloring agent is suspected but also those products without annatto have caused reactions. The cause of the reactions is unknown at this point but thought to be part of the cheese flavoring packet.

Those less sensitive may find they do well with the product now and then, but it is not recommended for those really sensitive to corn.

Our articles on other Annie's products:
Annie's Organic Ketchup - removed
Annie's Naturals - Salad Dressings
Annie's Homegrown bunnies - removed

There are a couple Annie's products still on the list. Their plain pastas and their mustard. Please use extreme caution with any of their other products.

BlueBonnet Vitamins & Suppliments

2011-08-20T12:51:00.003-05:00

Inquiries into the Bluebonnet company and products as posted on Delphi Forums - Avoiding Corn, has made this company one of our favorites. Keep in mind that not all of their products are corn-free, but their willingness to give out accurate information for people with food allergies has us pretty impressed.

Capsules - made from pine/spruce
Vegetable Cellulose - made from pine/spruce
L-Glutamine - cassava
Calcium Magnesium - corn-free (check labels to make certain you have the right one)

Do be aware though at any of their products containing fructose, Vitamin C, powdered Vitamin D3, or vegetarian glucosamine will not be safe for a corn allergy. These ingredients are confirmed sourced from corn.

The BlueBonnet Calcium Magnesium 1:1 Ratio (pictured here) contains traces of rice. FYI.

Also, their multivitamins are not corn-free. "that all their vitamin C is derived from corn, the vitamin D3 from lanolin contains corn starch in the drying method from an oil to a powder, both of these ingredients are in all their multivitamins."

It's so good to deal with a company who gives you the straight forward truth about what is or isn't in their products. Even though many of their products may not be corn-free, it's nice to know they're honest and we can trust the replies we're given. Kudos BlueBonnet!

Organic Prairie Ground Turkey

2011-08-20T12:32:00.001-05:00

A company response posted on our favorite forum - Delphi Forums - Avoiding Corn - states this product to be corn-free.

Organic Prairie's Ground Turkey Chub has no added ingredients to the ground turkey, and the packaging does not contain corn starch as well.

This product still needs testers, so let us know how you are doing with it.

Bellaphoria & Signature Minerals - Cosmetics Review

2011-07-29T02:13:00.001-05:00

When going corn-free as a woman, one of the biggest hurdles is our personal look or style. Nothing really has more affect than being denied our facepaint.

Over the last few years, more and more new companies are starting to make good corn-free cosmetics thus making it easier for women with a corn allergy to move to corn-free cosmetics and still feel in "fashion". Unfortunately most of these products are only sold online, so I thought a review of the products might help you make a decision on which is the best product for you.

I'll be covering two companies in this post. Bellaphoria & Signature Minerals.

Both companies make pure mineral cosmetics. I managed to finagle some samples of both company's products… Signature Minerals will send you some samples for a small shipping fee. Bellaphoria no longer does samples, I just was lucky they had a few left from a trade show (I think that's what they said). It is also lucky for them that they gave me the samples. I'm a hands-on type of customer especially with beauty products, so I like to know what I'm getting when I'm buying. Without their sample, I would not have given them a second look and would just have gone with Signature Minerals. (Yes, I am that kinda shopper.)

So you know, I'm a pale-skinned (unless I tan) white girl with dark hair and dark brown eyes. I'll try to be as accurate in my descriptions as possible, but I thought I'd let you know my "base" palette I was working with.

My former cosmetics are Zuzu Luxe - Gabriel sold at Health Food Stores and Whole Foods, which many now contain corn, thus my search for a new makeup. I may make color comparisons for those of you who have Zuzu Luxe sold near you if you wanted to "see" what these two companies colors might be close to.

Also keep in mind, if you're moving from mainstream cosmetics to these mineral makeups you'll have quite a transition period. These mineral makeups do not require as much makeup to make an impact. Start out using 1/3 of what you'd think you'll need on your brush, as these colors can be very intense.

Foundation:
Signature Minerals (SM): 0 Porcelain ($14.95)
Bellaphoria: Platinum, Light, Medium ($24.95 each)

Coverage or application of both of these were good. Unfortunately the only shade I had from SM was way too light for my skin so I wasn't able to accurately judge how well it works as a foundation. Bellaphoria won me over with theirs though, as their light foundation matches my skin perfectly, and went on like a breeze.

SM's 0 is nearly exactly the same color as my Gabriel "Bone" eyeshadow. It's an off-white color, and pretty much looks like white eyeshadow on my skin. Bellaphoria's Platinum is essentially the same color, but has just a touch more beige/pink to it. If you're really really white, one of these shades may work for you.

Bellaphoria's Light foundation, I'd describe it as a Neutral Light Beige or Creamy Natural. It is almost exactly the same color as my Zuzu Luxe Dual Powder foundation in D-7 (which now contains corn derivatives). The Bellaphoria has just a touch more pink to it than the Zuzu Luxe, but that didn't show when I applied it.

Bellaphoria's Medium is a little darker, and would work perfectly for me if I had a good tan. It's still "light" though, and should work for those with medium complexions.

Blush:
Signature Minerals: Gleeful (10g size: $6.95)
Bellaphoria: (Mineral blushes) Citrus Glow, Pink Coral, Rustic Rose, Antique Rose, Luxberry, Mauviene (10g sizes: $16.95 each)

I have to say I wasn't a big fan of any of Bellaphoria's blush colors, though I am wearing Rustic Rose today. It's possible I was just applying them wrong. I did however like SM's Gleeful, and if you like shimmer in your blush you may want to look into using SM's Bordeaux eye shadow very lightly as a blush.

SM's Gleeful - This is a very nice med-dark mauve blush (it looks nothing like their website picture). I like my blush to "show" for a relatively dramatic but remotely natural look so it was perfect for me. SM's Gleeful comparison to Bellaphoria - if Rustic Rose and Luxberry had a child, it'd be SM's Gleeful.

Bellaphoria - (none of these except possibly Rustic Rose looked right on my skin, most looked surreal, but your mileage may vary. These are very strong/bright pigments.)

Citrus Glow - This is an orange based brown. On the website it looks a little bit like a creamy orange/beige or almost like a foundation color. It is not. Trust me. It actually reminds me a bit of a med-light terra-cotta clay.

Pink Coral - This is a very bright light baby pink. When I put it on, I thought it might look good on very light skinned blondes. I however tried it out as an eye shadow and liked it much better as it added just an extra spunk to my normal use of just lavender eye shadow.

Mauviene - This is a very bright pinkish/purple mauve. By itself, it looks rather pink, but compared to the Pink Coral, this is purple. I also preferred this one as an eye shadow.

Rustic Rose - This is pretty much spot on with it's name. It's a rose + rust color, and one that I may use when doing my face in a neutral brown palette. It looks a little odd when used on my cheeks with lavender or pink eye shadows. (If you use greens or blues as eye shadows this shade may work)

Luxberry - This is a purple mauve color and very dark. I just noticed that it looks similar to my Zuzu Luxe Haze blush but with just a touch more purple. I also tried this out as an eyeshadow and liked it.

Antique Rose - Also well named, it looks like antiqued rose paint though maybe a little more brown based. It's a very earthy color of pink or rose.

Eyeshadows:
I did not have any Bellaphoria eyeshadows, but from my experiences with their other products, I am relatively certain their eye shows are highly pigmented probably more so than the Signature Minerals.

Signature Minerals: Eyeshadow $5-$8 (Bellaphoria eyeshadows $11.95)

Bordeaux - This is a very shimmery rose pink. It's bright and beautiful. I actually loved it as a blush, but it works great on the eyes too. It is not a shade for the faint of heart as a eye shadow though. (I really wish I had this shade as a lipstick too.)

Eggplant Dk - This is a dirty purple and looks exactly like it does on their website. I'm not sure why it's called Eggplant because it looks nothing like eggplant. It is almost brown/grey though it's clearly a purple. It's a little hard to describe, but it's not a real purple.

Terre Dark - This is a dark warm brown color. It looks almost like milk chocolate. This is a great basic color brown if you're wanting to do a look with neutral shades.

Black Liner - This is black. Just basic black black.

I played around with these nearly all day and didn't have any reaction. I will most likely be using a little of both of these companies, and will be trying out a couple different shades of Signature Minerals foundation to see if I can find one to suit me (the price of SM is much less for foundations).

NOW foods -Xanthan Gum

2011-07-25T18:49:00.000-05:00

A company response from NOW foods posted on our Facebook group verifies that this xanthan gum isn't safe for corn allergies. Use caution.

"The growth medium contains: Soy bean protein, corn starch, calcium carbonate, Yeast"

While many companies do claim all the protein is removed during the processing this is not usually always true or at least many corn allergic persons do react to xanthan gum that is grown on corn. (Soy allergies may also want to avoid this product.)

Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

2011-07-13T17:41:00.000-05:00

The company claims these to be corn-free, but too many reactions have been reported. This will be taken off the corn-free list on the next update.

Do use caution with this product.

Brown Cow Cream Top Yogurt - Plain

2011-07-07T20:38:00.000-05:00

Brown Cow's Cream Top Yogurt (plain) is being removed from the corn-free list as it now contains pectin which may contain dextrose or other corny additives in it's production.

This may be added back to the list if it's proven again to be safe through human trials.

Until then use caution with all Brown Cow yogurt products.
