Kettle Brand Chips - Removed

The Lightly Salted versions of Kettle Brand chips were at one time confirmed with the company to be corn-free. However, due to several reports of reactions, these chips are being removed from the list. See Delphi Forums: Safe Chips Thread for more information. These reports are not the first reported reactions (See List posted on 12/02/06) so please use extreme caution if you're still consuming these or want to try them.

Dagoba Chocolates

Dagoba was recently purchased by Hershey's (see article on Slashfood.com). Hershey's is supposedly keeping hands off of Dagoba's formula, but only time will tell.

A recent post of Dagoba's corn-free status claims the products to still be corn-free.

Please let us know if you have any updates about this product.

Healthy Gums by NaturalDentist

A posting on Delphi of the ingredients (& sources) of Healthy Gums toothpaste has added it to our corn-free list.

If anyone has any problems with this product, please let us know.

Brawny Paper Towels

A post on Delphi gives company confirmation that the Brawny paper towels are corn-free. However, the glue, used to tack the paper to the cardboard roll and to tack the first sheet down, is made from corn.

I've decided not to include these on the list for this reason, but this info will be here for anyone interested in using them.

Land O'Lakes Allergy Statement

When a poster on Delphi contacted Land O'Lakes inquiring about possible corn in their product, they received a very unhelpful reply.

This product it seems we're on our own as to finding corn.

Bionature Pasta

This will be added to the next posting of the list, due to recommendations.

See Bionature Pasta Thread on Delphi.

If anyone has had problems with this product, please let us know.

Swheat Scoop Cat Litter

A company response posted on Delphi forums confirms that Swheat Scoop Cat Litter is corn-free.

It contains wheat and soybean oil.

The company does admit that the wheat they use may be cross-contaminated with corn. This is normal and common, as nearly all wheat sources have the same chances of cross-contamination. This is a problem going back to current grain storage practices in the USA as well as other parts of the world.

Special Kitty Cat Litter - Walmart

According to an inquiry posted on Delphi into Special Kitty cat litter, the company confirms that it is corn-free. It is labeled as being bentonite clay.

This brand it seems is specially made for and only available at WalMart.

Wholly Wholesome Pies

A short discussion on Wholly Wholesome Pies, still has the pies in question.

If anyone has further information on the safety of these pies, please post on this Delphi Thread or let us know. Thanks.

Panderos Delights Cookies

Panderos Delights cookies have recently added ascorbic acid to their labels. Violets inquired with the company and Panderos claims it to be derived from tapioca. Click here to read thread on Delphi.

So far no one has reported human testing the product.

President's Choice - Canadian

Since only one person so far has commented on the safety of these products and I believe they're solely available in Canada? I won't be adding them to the list yet.

However, one poster on Delphi uses the following products from President's Choice.

PC Organic Whole Wheat Flour (unenriched)
PC Rice Puffs
PC Canned Tomatoes (tomatoes and juice)
PC Organic Butter
PC Old Cheddar
PC Sweet Apple Cider
PC Natural Apple Juice
and Blue Menu Whole Wheat Pasta (blue box)

If anyone knows for certain the corn-free status of these products or has had success or problems with these products, please let us know.

President's Choice - Canadian

President's Choice - Young Turkey with butter basting.

See post on Delphi Forums - Corn-free Canadians

The company claims it is totally corn-free and was tested seemingly successfully by one tester.

** A discussion on President's Choice poultry on Delphi Forums talks good and bad about these products. Also there may be problems with different suppliers using different processing methods. So it may depend on where you live, whether these products are safe.

Beet Sugar - Michigan Sugar Company

Michigan Sugar Company makes pure beet sugar. This sugar is a great alternative for those who also react to cane (a close sister to corn).

According to a post on Delphi, Michigan Sugar Company's sugar is also labeled as Big Chief and Pioneer Sugar.

The U.S. Beet Sugar Association may also be helpful in finding a local beet sugar supply.

Rapunzel Yeast - Removed

Rapunzel yeast has had multiple reactions and seems just as "safe" as Red Star which is grown on corn.

For safety reasons, Rapunzel is being removed from the list. There is no known safe yeast sold in the USA at this time. But we're still looking.

Cabot Products - Unsafe

A letter from Cabot posted on Delphi forums details the gluten-free aspect of their products as well as the high incidence of corn contamination.

All their starches are corn-derived. All their conveyor dressings are cornstarch.

Their regular cheddar cheeses are free of corn derived ingredients, however there is a great chance of cross-contamination.

It is recommended (not only by us, but by Cabot) to avoid their products if you have a corn allergy (corn intolerance included).

Kashi Organic Strawberry Fields Cereal

This has been removed from the list due to multiple reactions.

There have been several reactions to this cereal, and the source of the corn is not known.

It will not be returned to the list, until human testing proves it to be safe.

To read about the reactions please go to: Delphi Forums - Just Fruits. The reactions are among several posts in this thread which was initially started due to questions about the corn-free status of the "Just Fruits" dried fruits. The "Just Fruits" are still being questioned with no definitive answer.

ShiKai Everyday Shampoo

This is one of the things researched prior to this blog, and I thought I'd include the information we have about it so far.

According to an inquiry made to ShiKai posted on Delphi, ShiKai's Everyday Shampoo & Conditioner are corn-free, soy-free, and wheat-free. They are also free of sodium lauryl sulfate, parabans and animal products.

The glycerin is from palm.

ShiKai's Everday Natural Shampoo & Conditioner has been tested and no reactions reported yet.

If you do have any problems with this product or have any other information reguarding its corn-free status, please contact the Admin.

New Morning Grahams

As of at least September 2006, New Morning claims their graham crackers to be corn-free.

However, there have been many reported reactions to these crackers from several different people.

I tested them myself, and reacted. There is a small amount of corn in them somewhere. My reaction was of the type specific to corn derivatives such as citric acid, corn syrup, etc.

If you are highly sensitive to corn derivatives, I would not advise trying these. These will not be showing up on the list, until human testing can confirm them to be corn-free.

New Morning Grahams are a product of U.S. Mills.

Nature Bake Breads

A post on Delphi Avoiding Corn Forum talks about Nature Bake Breads.

"If you can tolerate commerical yeast, Nature Bake bread is wonderful. They are very careful about corn and soy ingredients because of the GMO issue as well as an awareness of allergies, and the owner is a very nice man. I called the company and was talking to him within minutes. He takes great pride in his bread and seems to know every detail that goes on in the production.

They do make a few breads that contain corn or soy (I forget which--we have to avoid both), but are careful about cross-contamination issues and make sure to label everything that goes into the bread. There are no chemicals or preservatives. GMO issues are very important to them, also, and they carry an organic line and a line made with spelt. We like the whole spelt bread

They use Fleischmann's and SAF (owned by Red Star) yeast in the bread." - Purple Kangaroo

Nature Bake Company Website

While this bread may be acceptable for some with corn allergies, we will not be adding it to the list due to the corn in the yeast problem.

Corn-Free Products List as of 12-02-2006

This post contained an outdated list. Please Go to Corn-Free Foods & Products List mainsite and look on the sidebar for an updated list. Thanks

Heinz - using more corn in their vinegar.

Heinz in an attempt I suppose to be more gluten-free and "natural" has recently changed their "flavored" cider vinegar to a corn base, this was confirmed in a recent Glutenfree.com newsletter.

According to Heinz Website FAQs (which hasn't been updated with the new gluten-free status on the flavored vinegar): "Heinz® Distilled White Vinegar is sourced from corn, not from wheat, rye, barley, or oats. Wine Vinegar and Apple Cider Vinegar are sourced from grapes and apples, respectively, not grains."

Heinz has been off the list (at least my version) for quite awhile since last I contacted them they could not confirm any of their vinegars to be corn-free.

They did however confirm the vinegar in their Organic Heinz Ketchup to be corn-free at that time.

** Update: 2007 - Heinz confirms vinegar in Organic ketchups to be source from corn and/or rye.
