Possible Corn derived food ingredient:

This list is not all inclusive of ingredients to avoid. Tip offs can be the generic use of ingredients without specifying their nature, for example: “natural” flavor, vegetable (which vegetable?), starch (which starch?), syrup, and so on. Be aware that most corn is genetically modified (GM or GMO) and I know that I don’t want to consume GMO’s nor do I want to support companies that use GM ingredients.

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
• Baking Powder (corn starch)
• Brown Sugar – look for use of Caramel color.
• Calcium Citrate – the calcium salt of citric acid.
• Caramel – coloring used in soft drinks, derived from corn or cane sugar.
• Cellulose, Vegetable, Powered, etc.
• Citrate – can refer either to the conjugate base of citric acid, or to the esters of citric acid. An example of the former, a salt is trisodium citrate; an ester is triethyl citrate. Forms of Citrate include: Calcium Citrate, Magnesium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, Sodium Citrate, and more.
• Citric Acid – Often times derived from corn.
• Corn
• Corn Meal – items baked sitting on Corn Meal such as Bagels, Breads or Pizza, may not list Corn Meal as an ingredient
• Corn Starch – in most over the counter medicines that come in a dry pill form. Yes, this includes Benedryl too. Watch for Corn Syrup in the liquid forms.
• Corn Syrup
• Decyl Glucoside – used in personal care products such as shampoo.It is produced by the reaction of glucose from cornstarch with the fatty alcohol decanol, which is derived from coconut.
• Dextrin, Maltodextrin – thickening agents found in sauces (check those frozen veggies!) salad dressings, and ice cream
• Dextrose (glucose) – corn sugar, found in cookies, ice cream, and paired with glucose in hospital IVs unless specified not to! Can also be used as a carrier with anesthetic shots such as Lidocaine and Novocaine! Dextrose is also injected into meat, lunch meats and deli cuts. Be weary of “honey baked” items, the sweet flavor may not be from honey.
• Ethanol – made by fermenting sugars produced from cornstarch
• Excipients- are substances used to bind the contents of a pill or tablet. My dictionary mentions honey, syrup, and gum arabic, but cornstarch is also a possibility.
• Ferrous Gluconate – i.e. as found in canned olives, and can be manufactured form corn or potato acid.
• Flavoring – Artificial or “Natural Flavors”
• Golden Syrup – Sometimes recommended as an alternate to Corn Syrup, but it may contain corn syrup as well.
• Glucona delta lactone (“GDL”) is a recently appearing additive in cured meats.
• Honey – May contain corn syrup, as corn syrup can be fed to bees
• Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)
• Invert syrup is enzymatically treated bulk corn sugars, used because it’s not so thick as corn syrup.
• Iodized Salt –  Dextrose (corn) can be added to salt.
• Lactic Acid – Commercially, lactic acid can be made synthetically from chemicals or organically as a byproduct of corn fermentation.
• Lauryl Glucoside – is a surfactant used in cosmetics. It is a glycoside produced from glucose and lauryl alcohol.
• Magnesium Citrate – Magnesium salt o fcitric acid.
• Magnesium Stearate
• Malic Acid
• Malt
• Malt Flavoring
• Maltitol – (also known as Maltisorb and Maltisweet) Commercially, maltitol is a disaccharide (formerly SPI Polyols), Cargill, Roquette, and Towa, among other companies manufacture it. Maltitol is made by hydrogenation of maltose obtained from starch, often corn.
• Maltodextrin
• Maltose
• Mannitol – A naturally occurring alcohol that is often combined with corn derived sugars.
• Methyl Gluceth – an emollient used in cosmetics manufactured from corn sugar and cornstarch.
• Modified Food Starch
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) –  MSG can be made from corn.
• Polydextrose – It is a food ingredient classified as soluble fiber and is frequently used to increase the non-dietary fiber content of food, replace sugar, reduce calories and reduce fat content.  Note: Dextrose, Sorbitol, and Citric Acid are all on this list of ingredients derived from corn.
• Polylactic Acid (PLA) – Plastic made from cornstarch  (U.S.) or sugarcane.
• Polysorbates (i.e. Polysorbate 80) -are oily liquids derived from PEG-ylated sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) esterified with fatty acids.
• Potassium Citrate – See Citrate above for details.
• Powdered Sugar – contains corn starch
• Saccharin – in powder form IS Sweet’N Low and therefore contains Dextrose.
• Sodium Citrate – See Citrate above for details.
• Sodium Erythorbate – is produced from sugar derived from sources such as beets, sugar cane and corn. It is a food additive used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks.
• Sodium Starch Glycolate –  It can be derived from any starch source (rice, corn, potatoes, etc).
• Sorbitan – is a mixture of chemical compounds derived from Sorbitol.
• Sorbitan Monostearate – an ester of sorbitol and stearic acid. You will see this ingredient used in Yeast (and possibly other places as well).
• Sorbitol – You will find this in Sugar Free items such as candy, chewing gum, cosmetics, mouth wash, and toothpaste
• Starch – often this is corn starch unless it specifies something else, like potato starch
• Sucralose – Sucralose by itself may be corn free, though it is likely one best to avoid. Repackaged as the brand Splenda, it will contain dextrose and/or maltodextrin.
• Sweet’N Low – contains dextrose and sugar substitutes in powder form generally contain Dextrose.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
• Vanilla Extract – most brands will have corn syrup, though you can find organic brands that do not, though the alcohol may be corn-derived.
• Vegetable-anything. Unless you know exactly what the vegetables are, you should be suspicious of any ingredient with vegetable in the name, including vegetable oil, vegetable broth, vegetable protein, vegetable shortening, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and vegetable mono- and di-glycerides.
• Vinegar, Distilled White – can be made from any sugar, but corn is the most common ingredient to make this- Corn that has been converted from starch into sugar.
• Vitamins – Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) and Vitamin E (Tocopherols). Use caution with products that are “enriched” with added vitamins. The vitamins may be corn-derived, or corn-derivatives may be used in the binding (if solid) or suspension (if liquid) of the vitamin compound.
• Xanthan Gum – a food additive that is used as a thickening agent. It is found in sauces, spices, and commonly in Gluten Free foods. Xanthan Gum is most often grown on corn, or corn sugars. If an item includes Xanthan Gum and states it is corn-free, call the manufacturing company and inquire as to the source of Xanthan Gum to be sure.
• Xylitol – You will find this in Sugar Free items such as candy, chewing gum, cosmetics, mouth wash, and toothpaste
