Redwood Hill Farms - Goat Yogurt

Redwood Hill Farms Goat Yogurt looked like a promising addition to our list; however, one of the Delpi Members guinea-pigged this yogurt for us and had bad results.

We definately would not recommend this product for anyone with a corn allergy.

FAGE - Total Greek Yogurt

A very informative company response was posted on Delphi-Avoiding Corn about the corn-free status of this product.

FAGE Products clearly states that their Total Greek Yogurts are free of any corn or corn starch, and that there is no possibility of cross-contamination in their facility because they do not process any products with corn starch or corn-derivatives.

The animals are fed alfalfa, soybean, cottonseed, barley, rye, and maize (corn). So if you cannot tolerate corn-fed animal milks, then this product may not work for you. Otherwise the product is completely corn-free per the company, and has been successfully tested by several.

Do let us know if you have any updated information about this product.

KerryGold Dairy Products

Correspondence from KerryGold posted on Delphi Forums, gives much reassurance that their products are completely corn-free.


KerryGold dairy products are imported from Ireland and use grass-fed cows. They are entirely hormone and preservative-free.

The company's correspondence goes into much detail about how careful they are in making sure only the best and purest milks are used in their products.

Their cheese products have been successfully trialed by several on the Delphi Forum-Avoiding Corn.

KerryGold Product Description: "It's 7 oz. It's in waxed paper. On the front sticker it says "100% Natural/Kerrygold/Aged Cheddar Cheese/Rich Creamy Cheddar/7oz (198g)/Imported from Ireland" and there's a picture of cows eating grass inside a stone-walled pasture. On the back sticker is the nutrition facts and it says "Packed for: Irish Dairy Board Inc./Wilmette IL 60091/Product of Ireland/www.kerrygold.com"

While this description is just for the one type of KerryGold cheese, all their cheeses should be in similar packaging, or it has probably been repackaged in the USA and may have cross-contamination.

Another review of KerryGold cheese can be found here: KerryGold Dublinear & Mild Cheddar

KerryGold also makes a butter, which is probably also corn-free but hasn't been definitively tested yet to my knowledge.

Humbolt Ice Creams - Corn-free

In an initial inquiry into Humbolt Ice Creams, Humbolt Creamery claimed that their Kirkland Signature Vanilla Ice Cream (Costco) and their Humbolt Organic Ice Cream pints were corn-free.

However, after further questioning, Humbolt Creamery investigated deeper and found that their vanilla was derived using corn.

Kirkland Signature Vanilla has had reported reactions due to the vanilla, and we expect the same for Humbolt's Organic Ice Creams containing vanilla.

However, the Humbolt Organic Ice Cream pints in Butter Pecan, Mint Chip, and Chocolate should be safe.

StoneyField Farms - Yogurts

Before this blog, we used to have StoneyField Farms yogurts on the list. At the time, Stoneyfield Farms insisted that their yogurts were corn-free and it took persistance to get answers.

In November, we posted StoneyField Farms yogurts as unsafe with the following reasons: "vanilla does have corn alcohol, unsure on pectin. Company insists its corn-free"

In a recent post on Delphi about StoneyField Farms O'Soy yogurt, it appears the StoneyField Farms is changing their tune and being more upfront about the use of corn in their products.

In the inquiry about O'Soy yogurt, the company clearly states the use of corn alcohols in their natural flavorings, and admits to "minute amounts of corn derivatives in our products".

For those of us who have had to deal with Stoneyfield Farms in the past, with false claims of corn-free status, this is definately a step in the right direction for Stoneyfield Farms, and shows that they really do listen to their customers.
