I got an email from Del Monte after inquiring about what the "food starch" source is in their creamed corn and they replied:

Dear Stacey,

Thank you for your e-mail about Del Monte Cream Style Corn.

The modified food starch we use is made from corn.

The list below includes all current Del Monte consumer products that, to the best of our knowledge, do not contain wheat, oats, rye or barley/malt ingredients. The list may change or may not be complete due to formula changes or new product introductions. It's always best to read the ingredient statement on the label for the most current information.

- All Del Monte and S&W Canned/Jarred Fruits

- All Del Monte Fruit Snack Cups (Metal and Plastic, includes Del Monte Fruit Chillers)

- All Del Monte and S&W Canned Vegetables (excluding S&W Canned Dry Bean products which are now produced and distributed by Faribault Foods)

- All Del Monte, Contadina, and S&W Tomatoes & Tomato Products (except Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce Flavored with Meat, and Contadina Tomato Paste with Italian Herbs)

Thanks for posting Stacey!

The Contadina canned tomato products are something that I've been meaning to check on, b/c I really like their sauces and diced tomatoes for quick meals... but I just haven't had the chance to call. Good info to know....
