DariFree is NOT corn free

[Guest guest]

The crystaline fructose is corn per the company. I had my son drink

less than 8 oz. of this because I had read that it was corn free. He

was sick for over a week with mucus in his stools, diarrhea, fever,

congestion (his typical reaction). He is definately highly sensitive

to corn under that company's guidelines.

I just called Miss Robens and told them, since they carry the product

also, and they said they just found out too from the company today.

Below is the statement we received from Vance's about the corn in Dari-Free:

Jay

Miss R

From Vance's Foods:

Recently concerns have been expressed about whether DariFreeTM is corn-free.

There has also been some confusion on this matter among our staff and

distributors.

No corn products, such as corn syrup solids, are added to DariFreeTM. Most

processed foods contain ingredients derived from corn, such as crystalline

fructose, which is used in the making of DariFree. Because the crystalline

fructose in DariFree is so highly refined, however, most individuals,

including those with high corn sensitivity, can consume DariFree with no

problems.

DariFreeTM was carefully developed as a product that could be tolerated by

almost everyone. No changes have been made in the DariFreeTM formulation

for several years. It is recommended by doctors, dietary specialists and

other healthcare professionals, hospitals, clinics and experienced parents

as the finest milk alternative available to individuals and families dealing

with significant food intolerances, allergies and sensitivities. Even so,

it may not be for everyone. Each person’s situation warrants individual

consideration.

My son is also EXTREMEY allergic to corn and had used DARIFREE for 18

months under the assumption it was indeed corn free as we were

told....he has been very ill due to it. I had contacted VANCES and

they were extremely helpful to me in pinpointing what addition to the

DARIFREE contained corn. I am sure if you need more information they

would be more than happy to help, I spoke solely with Stan Rasmussen

and he is very helpful and understanding.....maybe if we keep asking,

they will produce an unsweetened one
