I couldn't find a website for Authority Pet Food Company, but their products are sold at Petsmart among other locations.
Authority's "Harvest Baked Dog Food" is labeled as corn-free, and contains no obvious sources of corn. Meaning the ingredients list no corn starch, corn oil, or other huge red light of corn. There is however a large list of added enrichments in the product which may or may not have a corn-based carrier, as well as some "natural flavor" and "extract" which might be questionable.
I am not aware of any human trials of this product or of any corn allergic animals trying this product, so I cannot verify for certain that it is completely corn-free or that your child wouldn't react to "accidentally" eating it. However, this may be an option for those of us looking to limit the amount of corn exposure in our households, while still keeping that favorite member of the family.
Authority's "Harvest Baked Dog Food" is rather pricey, about 2-3 times the amount of normal cheap dry dog food, but for me it makes feeding the dog a much less scary event.
If anyone does "trial" this dog food and knows for certain that it would be safe for accidental ingestion, please let us know.
Since we all have different sensitivities, this should be considered a guide rather than a guarantee of corn-free status. This list is always changing as manufacturers are constantly changing their formulas. If you do have a reaction to any of these products, do let us know.

Only Natural Pet Store - shipping corn.
For those with pets and looking to order things online, a post on Delphi utters a caution.
Only Natural Pet Store uses cornstarch packing peanuts in their packages for shipment.

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.
