Are the Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Corn Grits, Polenta organic and GMO free?
1781733
All of Bob's Red Mill products come from identity preserved seeds. This means the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. Bob's Red Mill simply can't guarantee against cross pollination due to natural occurrences such as wind drift, so they do not label their products GMO-free. They are only organic if stated on packaging.

I see the answers which state that this product is non-GMO, but after looking at the box that the 4 bags of grits come in, and the bags that contain the grits, I could see nothing that confirmed this. I would love to be proven wrong as what I want is non-GMO.

Yes, it is non-GMO. I will quote from Bob's Red Mill FAQ: Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment. I bake with this mix every week. FYI, it bakes up much better if you mix the oil, eggs (and in my case a bit of added sugar) first, then add the mix and mix until the grains are coated. Then slowly add the milk as you mix. I bake this in a lightly heated cast iron skillet and it makes enough for my family of three to have fresh, then freeze enough for two more meals together. Good stuff!

Yes. Certified USDA Organic. Go to "www.bobsredmill.com" and ask them directly if in doubt.

No, these are regular rolled "organic" oats but they are NOT gluten free. I was buying "gluten" free from Bob's Red Mill, but there were discontinued on Amazon.com. I do not believe that Bob's Red Mill is making gluten free anymore. Not sure why? Maybe the demand was not great enough?

Ground corn would be gluten free unless contaminated by processing on equipment shared with wheat. This corn is processed and packaged in a wheat free/gluten free facility. Technically, you can't claim a product is gluten free if it is naturally gluten free.

Susan, I'm reading the bag I bought, "100% pure natural corn - no chemicals - no preservatives - no additives. On the back it says " Wheat Free Facility" It does not say GMO Free, or organic anywhere on the package.

Yes, on the label it says gluten-free, made without pesticides, herbicides, Good, PC's, preservatives, soy, milk, eggs, yeast, wheat, corn, and nuts. I hope that helps.

Straight from the Bob's web site:Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved,non-GMO seeds. This means thatthe seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment. And the stuff is GOOOOOD too. I use the gluten free masa every week to make tortillas.

I cannot speak directly for Bob's Red Mill, but I do know that I have used his Organic Buckwheat Flour for people who are gluten intolerant without any adverse effects. Buckwheat in itself is gluten free, and the Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat package lists Whole Grain Organic Buckwheat as the only ingredient. I would suggest contacting the company directly for a more definitive answer.

I called the help line today and New Grains Gluten Free Bakery said there is no corn in the tortillas, they said they use a corn free baking powder

Hi KBF, I checked my packages of Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour. There is nothing on them that indicates they are 'organic'. The only ingredient is 100% ground almonds. The product is totally gluten-free, kosher and pareve. I hope my response is useful to you. You can look for my review (dated March 9, 2015) at this product's Amazon site.

http://www.bluebonnetnutrition.com/product/98/Super_Quercetin%AE_VcapsTheir website is very specific that this product is gluten free. I found no mention of their products being GMO free.

They should be since corn is the grain involved. However, the box indicates that the grits are processed on the same equipment that processes milk, wheat, soy and egg which may account for the fact that it is not specifically noted as gluten free.

Here is the response I received from the company when I asked about equipment: Our organic buckwheat is milled on a separate piece of equipment but in the same facility as wheat. On Amazon we do offer a buckwheat flour that is certified gluten free. We are just initiating the Amazon product so you would need to go on Amazon.com and sign up to be notified when its available. Thanks Rick

The flour blend is totally gluten free and GMO free, but I cannot find a statement where they claim to be organic.
