What food do you buy from the GROCERY STORE that did not have corn used in its manufacturing process?

Question

First off, bless you for shopping from farmer's markets, growing your own, or buying directly from the farmer...but that is NOT what this question is about.

This is about GROCERY STORE purchases (where the majority of food is purchased). The only foods that do not need to be listed are all the fresh, raw fruits and vegtables, in the produce isle. They are not to be included. Everything else in the grocery store is "open season."

What do you buy and eat that does NOT have corn in it as part of the manufacturing/growing process?

I don't want people to just say "stewed tomatoes." I'd like to know the actual BRAND. Why? Because most of you are going to be skocked to find some form of corn used in almost ever single product you eat.

I am willing to bet that nobody (in the U.S.A.) can list more than ten products!!!

Check back on this question...I'll be updating. Wait for my edit, before answering...I'll have a list of a few corn adatives.

Answer 1

Bush's Baked Beans.

Coor's light

amstel light

MGD

2 buck chuck wine

Keystone

Budweiser

natural Light

Sam Adams beer

Sieera Nevada Beer

I could go on ya know..

But, things you didn't know had corn in them:

Most Breads.

Almost anything sweetened

Anything thickened (cornstarch - that's most soups)

Almost ALL US Soda - (not mexico or UK)

Any quickbread/buscuit - IE it uses clabber girl baking POWDER (or sim)

It's quite amazing actually, I have a relative that's allergic to corn products.  Hard for them to eat at all.

I`ll try to be on the safe side and say ,marmalade,coffee,

Answer 4

Wow, this is interesting and I've certainly never thought about it. I can't think of a single food item I might have - other than maybe my tea bags - that wouldn't have corn. Do you mind explaining this a bit further - why does it matter, what made you think of it? I've been paying a lot more attention to high fructose corn syrup in the last few years but haven't really thought much about corn in our products in general and it really has me intrigued.

Answer 5

Can I win? :)  Check my grocery list http://corn-freefoods.blogspot.com

Ok a few of those foods do have some kind of corntamination, but a very very few.  And just in case you want me to list some actual products here (btw those fresh fruits and veggies have corn in them too, even those hydroponic veggies have corn-based fertilizers/feed)

1. King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour (though the company states that there might be a corn kernel or two that accidently gets into it from their wheat supplier as corn and wheat are often housed in nearby or even the same silos one after the other)

2. Kedem 100% Concord Grape Juice

3.  C&H Cane Sugar

4. Lundbergh Rice (the actual uncooked grain)

5. Cere's Fruit Juices

6. Florida's Natural OJ - plain unenriched only

7. Eden or  Mariani Dried Cherries

8. Ancient Grains - Quinoa

9. Eden Organic Tomatoes (canned)

10. Contadina Tomato Paste

Answer 6

Crown Prince Sardines in soy oil. I right there with ya, I'm so sick of looking at food labels and seeing flippin high-fructose corn syrup! It's in almost everything! Even supposedly "all natural" products. I live in the city and it's expensive to buy organic and truly natural foods. But, I just moved into a new home and it has a big back yard for cultivation.

None. I am not allergic to corn so why should I care?
