I heard that Bob's Red Mill xanthum gum was gluten free and corn free. Is it corn free?

Search Wikipedia on Xanthan Gum, you can also look at my review based on my experience with the product.

There is only one ingredient listed under the nutritional facts. It is Modified Food Starch (Waxy Maize)For more information check out Wikipedia or your favorite browser. Its label says it is non gmo and gluten free. if you have an allergy to corn you might want to call Cornaby's at: (801)754-4968.

Yes, that's correct. The corn not designated gluten free may have been milled where wheat was milled before (this is the same problem oats, which do not contain gluten). There are people with celiac sprue who cannot tolerate any wheat at all without causing damage to their intestines. For people avoiding gluten because of intolerance, it may or may not make a difference. Bob's Red Mill has dedicated equipment :)

Yes. It's completely gluten-free, certified. All "Hi-Maize" comes from National Starch Food Innovation and then resold to consumers by various retailers (one is Honeyville, another is King Arthur Flour). It is recommended to those on a gluten-free diet to help with fiber needs. Here is more info from the manufacturer: http://www.foodinnovation.com/foodinnovation/en-us/Hi-maize/Pages/Home.aspx On King Arthur Flour's consumer version, it's clearly labeled gluten-free: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/hi-maize-fiber-12-oz

It is gluten free. It is also made from birch trees in the US (website says: Organic birch (not from corn!)).

http://foodreference.about.com/od/Food-Additives/a/What-Is-Xanthan-Gum.htmAccording to this article, Xanthan Gum can be made using carbohydrates from corn, wheat, dairy, or soy. Since the package doesn't say exactly, you may want to assume it does. I don't understand, though, why it is so widely used in gluten free recipes if it is made from wheat. I have been using corn starch as a thickener because I'm just not sure about this stuff.

Like other answerers here, I personally would NOT call this one gluten free because it does not say so on the package. But Bob's Red Mill does offer a specific gluten free steel cut oats and there is a good description of it on their webpage.

There is corn syrup listed as an ingredient. As far as being gluten free, you would have to call customer service for Benecol products.

Corn is gluten free and it is 100% cornmeal. I did not read of any additional ingredients in it that would be gluten. Now, I don't know if they mill wheat at the same facility. You may want to contact them directly about that.

It is not entirely gluten free, but they do sell completely gluten-free oats in both rolled and the steel cut form. Search on: Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats.

yes, it is gluten free... if you look in the bottom left corner, there is a red circle with a line through it and it says, Gluten Free.... it's good stuff, I put it in my Oat Bran (also Bob's Redmill) every morning.

No, this product is NOT gluten free. I'm looking at the ingredients on the box, and the first one in the list is wheat flour. It also contains a grain blend of oats, flax, rye, barley, corn, triticale, millet, rice bran and sunflower.

Xanthan gum can be made from bacterium from wheat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum#Allergies) so although it doesn't contain wheat, if you are highly intolerant, I would avoid it or find one labeled GF.

Since corn is the only grain involved in grits (and, hence, polenta), any brand of grits should be gluten-free. Even my gluten-sensitive daughter consumes these grits.In addition, Bob's Red Mill site specifies their grits are gluten-free.So, while I can't run scientific tests and guarantee it myself, I'd say, yes, Bob's corn grits is a gluten-free product.By the way, in order to make polenta from grits -- this is assuming you don't already know -- cook the grits per directions, and then pour them in to some shaped container. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, covered (of course). Cut into chunks, pan-fry, and serve with eggs and bacon, eggs and sausage, or however you want it.Hope all this blather helps.

Hi Kelly the product is beef / pork sourced an although that is gluten free , non gluten based( not guaranteed )To be gluten free. Corn processed in a facility chances of cross contamination with corn . I cannot have corn so I just found this out so I will no longer be using this product for myself . It's a shame that these company's are Not diligent about people with food sensitivities an allergies .. Other then that it could have been a good product So if you have gluten issues like my self I would err on side of caution with this product ..

No xanthan gum is needed with this product. You can just use it as a direct substitute for wheat flour in any recipe. It has worked well in any baking recipe I have tried. Best of luck in your wheat free holiday baking!
