Are citric acid and lactic acid derived from corn?

No for lactic acid (from milk), but yes for citric acid. "In this production technique, which is still the major industrial route to citric acid used today, cultures of A. niger are fed on a sucrose or glucose-containing medium to produce citric acid. The source of sugar is corn steep liquor, molasses, hydrolyzed corn starch or other inexpensive sugary solutions.[10] After the mold is filtered out of the resulting solution, citric acid is isolated by precipitating it with lime (calcium hydroxide) to yield calcium citrate salt, from which citric acid is regenerated by treatment with sulfuric acid." ~ Wikipedia.org

The label (shown in the description photos) states 'naturally derived citric acid.' These tomatoes are delicious! I eat them right from the can, heated, for lunch.

The majority of sources state that erythritol is made by fermenting glucose, which is derived from a variety of plants. Corn consists of dextrose, a different type of sugar. While the carbohydrates from corn can be hydrolyzed into glucose, I don't know if that is done in the case of erythritol (I imagine it's a costly process). Taking this into consideration, I would say that erythritol is not made from corn (though I'm not the manufacturer and can't say for certain).

It contains red cabbage power, citric acid, baking soda, corn starch, and cross-linked polyacrylate copolymer - none of them pose a problem and TSA won't have an issue with them.

Here is the information I was able to get from the NOW FOODS website: "For example, pure natural vitamin C is produced from corn by only five production facilities in the world. None are in the United States, where GMO corn is all too common. All are from Europe and the Far East, situated in countries that (to date) have restrictions that do not allow GMO food corn to be grown there. Our producers have given us statements to confirm that their corn sources are non-GMO, but the documentation doesn't extend back to the farm level. Testing for GMOs has not found that any is detectable in vitamin C. We have done all that is currently possible to assure that our vitamin C is non-GMO, and continue to monitor the situation to ensure this is maintained in the future." Hope that helps :-)

Yes, you can use this citric acid for cheese making. You can also check Wal-Mart canning section...think it's a little cheaper.

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

I can't tell you whether the lactic acid is plant or animal based. If you are a vegetarian, I would consult with the manufacturer. Sorry, I could not be of help.
