Idun Yeast - Norweigen Import
Idun Torr Gjaer yeast was found in Houston at their Norwegian Seaman's Church, and may possibly be found at other imported goods stores.
My husband (a Norwegian) confirmed with the company that no corn is used to grow the yeast. The yeast is grown on a mix of locally grown grains (barley, rye, wheat, and oats).
Idun's own website can be found at www.stabburet.no - though do be aware that their website is entirely in Norwegian.
** Update ** Idun Yeast has been found for sale at Marina Market.com. As of yet though, I've not heard if anyone has ordered from them, so I can't comment on the company. The yeast was merely seen for sale there.

Not Corn-free Research up until 11-13-06
Since this blog is new, and there has been some research done prior to opening the blog, I thought I'd put a short update on foods already researched either through company correspondence or through human guinea-pig testing.
Some of these products the companies still insist and declare corn-free status, and may be tolerable for those with higher tolerances. However, you have been warned.
