Is this made of corn? GMO or not? Nobody seems to know the answer and it is quite a key question. I would not buy it without knowing.

I'm not sure what it is made from, but according bulk supplements' website it is non-gmo. I prefer this too. :) http://www.bulksupplements.com/ascorbic-acid-vitamin-c-crystalized-powder.html

I did some research and all Ascorbic acid is made of corn syrup I can't tell you whether it is GMO or not. I can tell you that has been allowed to be marketed as Vitamin C..although it doesn't contain all the properties of the Vitamin C found in Foods...It is added to commercial orange/tomato juices etc..because heat is used in the processing of orange Juice..and destroys parts of it..so they add Ascorbic acid. I take it as an antioxidant..I'm allergic to Citric acid and get my full Vit C from fresh vegetables..peas,spinach,etc. When I cook vegetables I add a pinch of Ascorbic acid to replace the part of the Vitamin C that has been destroyed.. I was also interested to note that most Vitamin C tablets also contain manufactured Ascorbic Acid ...along with various fillers. This product does not upset my stomach at all..it is free of sugar,soy,dairy, yeast gluten or additives..unlike Vitamin C tablets. It is also good applied as a serum for skin..;-) I hope this helps

According to the producer it is not genetically modified (see http://www.hi-maize.com/HiMaize/USA/FAQ/) the fiber content is 15 grams out of 25--they don't break it out, but I think that that would be the resistant starch component (so it may not be the kind of fiber you're looking for).

My latest purchase (July 2014) states on the label that it contains maltodextrin. I was concerned about gluten, so I called the company, and was told the maltodextrin is from corn, so there is no gluten. I am a little concerned that corn may be gmo, but as someone else stated, the amount used is so small, that I'm not too concerned.

From what I have read in various sources, there are not yet any genetically modified varieties of white corn so it could be assumed that these are non-gmo. I cannot however say for sure, since this is only based on what I have read.

personally, I would stay away from soy - because soy (& corn) are the top 2 GMO foods.......... & are in just about everything.......... UGH.

the actual product is gmo free since it's just pure ascorbic acid, but the material it's probably made from is probably gmo corn. think about how cheap this product is vs the alternatives that aren't sourced from gmo corn.

according to the advertising it is made from non-gmo corn, however I don't see a USDA Organic certified stamp. Please contact manufacturer for further information.

Please research this, but I have read in various sources that all popcorn is currently non GMO. Apprently popcorn comes from a different seed than regular corn and has not been modified.

Check your facts! Where did you read it's made from corn grown in China? I called the company--nothing comes from China in their products.

It is organic, so it is non-gmo, but it may be hybrid. I don't think it's the ancient grain.

The corn is non gmo. Here is a good / short article for more information on this topic: http://gmo-awareness.com/2011/05/05/is-organic-always-gmo-free/

I'm sorry I don't know what gmo is but here is the list of ingredients: corn starch, sustainable palm oil from non-peatlands, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), peppermint oil.

Well now, that's true. I still have a bag in my cabinets so I went and grabbed it. It claims to be planted with NON GMO corn seed. It also says "Organic Popcorn", and under INGREDIENTS LIST it says..100% natural, Non GMO, Certified Organic Popcorn. Something else which looks to say Certified...but is missing was printed on bag, my suggestion is for you to go to www.greatnorthernpopcorn.com and ask...as I will. Good catch!

I can tell you that the source of this glucosamine is non-GMO corn, produced by GreenGrown (Ethical Naturals, Inc.)I hope that answers your question.

I see it on the label from here.. non gmo in the red circle top left.. if it really is non gmo thats amazing.. corn is the most genetically modified product after soy.. Im going to try it just for that reason!

It's most likely GMO. Per their website, an Organic product will say "Organic." Surely, a food processor would want to emphasize the organic nature as they pay a high premium for it. To the person that said it tastes the same as other GM corns, GMOs are impossible to distinguish from non-GMO/organic corn other than through DNA testing. Also, no non-GMO/organic batch of corn is ever 100% GMO-free. There is a nominal contamination in every batch. Source - former grain trader.
