Thank you to the many people who took time to respond.
One person stated that they used store brands such as Kroger, Walmart and
Winn Dixie and never had a problem. Trust the label. Dixie Lily makes a white
cornmeal.
A couple people suggested Quaker for cornmeal while another said they were
told by Quaker that grits are run on machines that process wheat they should
be avoided. However, Quaker Quick Grits were safe.
Other companies mentioned were Bob's Red Mill - cornmeal, grits or polenta.
Arrowhead Mills for finely ground cornmeal. Masa harina was suggested as an
option but is more dense.
One interesting comment was "Corn, unlike oats, is most likely to
contaminated with soy which is harvested at the same time in late fall & the
same size grain --and very different from wheat. The most likely source of
contamination would be from oats, so any gluten contamination in a trace
amount of oats--which would be gf if pure, would be to small to worry about.
Joan Wade, President of Sylvan Border Farm Gluten-Free Products uses
cornmeal from Coosa Valley Milling and has them tested at the University of
Nebraska. They always come out "Below the Lower Level of Detection". I've
enjoyed the cake mixes from Sylvan Border.
Coosa Valley Milling, 30620 Highway 25 South, Wilsonville, Alabama 35186
phone: 205-669-6605. Ask for Frank McEwen. Corn meal - fine ground,
yellow or white.
Finally, on Delphi Forums, the Saunooke Mill in Cherokee, NC grinds grits (white
and yellow) as well as cornmeal and corn flour. This mill has never ground
anything other than corn. http://www.cherokeesaunookemill.com
Again, thank you to those who took time to respond to my query.
