Cornmeal Question

[1965kid]

Hi folks,

If I buy enriched Cornmeal (I have Great Value brand), is it all safe?

Like would Aunt Jemima cornmeal be safe?

It says it is processed in a facility that processes wheat , eggs, ect.

But it should be OK right?

I can get Arrowhead Mills cornmeal at the health food store here, but its $3.00. Where Aunt Jemimna is only a $1.00 for the same size package.

So what kind of cornmeal do you guys use?

I ran into the same thing not long ago when I went looking for cornmeal for the first time. I chose the Arrowhead Mills and haven't had any probblems. I just can't see how it can be processed in the same facility and not be contaminated and I have gotten sick from contamination like this. I'm honestly not familiar with how these facilities are run so until I have more info. that would allay my concerns, I'll err on the safe side and pay more.

I'm really not too picky about shared facilities, but I prefer to get flours from dedicated lines or facilities. Walmart brand corm meal is not from a dedicated facility. I use Kinnikinnick cornmeal.

We use Kinnikinnick cornmeal and cornflour too and breadcrumbs, guar gum and rice bran.

I get corn bran from somewhere else: I don't recall right now.

I use Quaker and haven't had any problems with it.
