StoneyField Farms products contain corn

Stonyfield Farms has recently began promoting that their packaging is now made from corn-based plastics.

While their products have been deemed unsafe for corn allergies for quite a while now, this new packaging move has further placed them on the "Do Not Eat" list.

Corn plastics have had a history of causing reactions among those allergic to corn. Contact reactions as well as reactions to eating food out of corn plastic containers.

Do use caution.

Corn Fabrics

Because food isn't enough to worry about, they've put corn corn everywhere.

A post on Conner's Corn Allergens Forum under Discussion: Fabric Made From Corn lists the following fabrics or materials to watch out for:

Sorona (supposedly the new nylon)

PLAs - water bottles, shampoo bottles and even carpets.

Ingeo line of Bedding at Target (Ingeo is a corn-based fabric, and expanding to clothes and designer shirts).

Kira - durable, high performance fabric from corn - Herman Miller fabric. Used on systems panels, tackboards, screens, and Ethospace tiles.

Natureworks PLA - clothing, carpets, diapers, mattresses, upholstery, yarn.

Oh and Minnesota T-Wolves games - beer mugs made from corn.

Biota Colorado Pure Spring Water

Its honestly a sad day when we have to post a caution about water, but unfortunatly that's just the day it is.

A warning posted on Delphi initially started this cloudy day, but an article on Naturally Boulder confirms it.

Biota Colorado Pure Spring Water is bottled in compostable bottles made from corn. There have been several reported incidents of corn allergy reactions to these corn-based plastics, so do use caution with these new plastics.
