Need Corn Meal

[Guest alex j]

I'm looking for corn meal that's free from cross contamination. Any suggestions?

Our family does fine with Bob's Red Mill products.

There are some that don't though. They carry a lot of different "flours".

We've had CC issues with Bob's so I get corn meal and corn flour from Open Original Shared Link when I order their hamburger muffins. There is a $10 shipping fee - maybe a support group near you orders as a "group" and you can get in on it? I also buy xanthan gum and a loaf of bread and rice bran when I order from them so my order gets big.

We did also buy Hogdson's Mill brand but then the stopped making corn meal for a while, then they changed their packaging when it finally came back out, putting it in a glued up box instead of an old fashioned paper covering (like wheat flour has). I was suspicious over the glue they used but I got used to buying Kinnikinnick while they took away their product.

I can't use Bob's Red Mill because they have nut cross contamination (nut allergy) - plus read a lot about gluten issues with them too.

I was nervous to use Hodgson's Mill because they do a lot of gluten containing flours. Maybe I'll give them a call.

I use Kinnikinnick too. I also order all of my flours from them as I think they taste the best. The $10 shipping actually saves me money because I order like $100 worth of flour when I place my order, that would be very expensive to ship if I didn't order through them. Kinnikinnick is a gluten free facility, so there should be no problems with cross contamination. Also, their cinnamon buns, bagels, breads, and donuts are amazing!!! It's definitely worth placing a big order. The K-toos are pretty great too.

Kinnickinnick looks great, but they have nuts in their facility and don't have a protocol to keep them separate (per the website) so we can't use them.

Also they have pea protein in everything and my son is allergic to peas, which is another cc concern.

Maybe I'll look on the gluten free mall and see what they have. I was surprised Miss Robens doesn't seem to have any.

OMG Thanks for the heads up about Bob's Red Mill. My nephew has a severe peanut allergy. I make corn bread muffins all the time and he eats them like they are cookies. There is NO - may contain traces or nuts on the label. The only ingredients listed are 100% whole grain corn. It NEVER occured to me that traces of nuts could be in 100% CORN.

I will be calling the company tommorrow and other companies that carry cornmeal. My nephew loves the muffins as much as me. It is definately not worth the risk if they can kill him.

Nut CC is important to avoid then.

I don't believe that Kinnickinnick 's corn meal or corn flour has pea protein in it, but I'll check it out as my husband can't have the pea or bean flour either. I believe the meal and flour is pure corn but yes, you will have to avoid it due to nut cross contamination then.

It's difficult to find gluten-free corn meal and flour without nut cc.... I recently found corn bran but I cannot state that there's no nut cc.

sorry - I should have been more clear - they have a tree nut x-contam problem (almonds, specifically).

But the fact remains there is no warning and there should be because they know there is a risk. I know they're not legally obliged to put a warning on there, but they should feel morally obliged given they know it's people with allergies buying their stuff.

I totally agree with you

I've been using Arrowhead Mills corn meal without any problems, but that's not to say there isn't some trace amount of something present. It's organic (non-GMO), which is what I need for corn products. Perhaps there website has some info, or you can email them. I haven't looked, and the bag doesn't say anything about being processed with other stuff.

I recall with Arrowhead that when questionned, you never get the same gluten-free information twice.

Sometimes they say Yes sometimes they said possible cross contamination. etc.
