Muir Glen - Citric acid from corn.

Just in case someone had any doubts. General Mills has confirmed that Muir Glen uses citric acid sourced from corn.

For a corn-free diet, please avoid all Muir Glen products with citric acid (which I think it all their products).

Gerber & Earth's Best use corn-based acids

"earths best baby food and gerber juices use corn base for their ascorbic and citric acids, i called this morning (all were very friendly and forth right)."


This was in the comments of one of our corn-free lists. The comment was left in January 2010 (yes I'm behind), but I wanted to add it as a post to make it easier for other mothers to find in the information.


As always, use caution with any products that list ascorbic or citric acid as these almost always are made from corn.

Hansen's Soda: Citric Acid derived from Corn

Just in case anyone needed verification on this, a Hansen's company response posted on Delphi Forums states clearly:

"The citric acid is derived from corn hydrolysate as all citric acid is."

This would include all citric acid in any Hansen product.

Please take this as a reminder to avoid any products which list citric acid as an ingredient where the source of that citric acid has not been verified to be from something other than corn.
