Del Monte Canned Corn

Has anyone ever had an issue with Del Monte canned corn? Their website mentions that to the best of their knowledge the canned fruit and veggies are gluten free but want to make sure others have used them with no problems.

We have never been glutened by plain canned veggies. We never buy creamed corn though. We purchase all brands -- whatever is on sale. I stock up in the Fall for our Earthquake kit. Last year's cans get donated to the food pantry.

Enjoy!

I have heard other people say they don't use the creamed corn, I haven't tried it yet, but the ones in my pantry all say corn starch is the thickener. Anyone actually have experiences with cream corn? I want to make a corn pudding for thanksgiving :-)

I have not looked at a canned of creamed corn in a long time because there is nothing like homemade. Frozen corn, cream (heavy whipping or 1/2 and 1/2), butter and cornstarch. Just make a basic white sauce (with the butter, cream and starch) found on the box of starch or online and add cooked corn and salt and pepper for taste. Tastes even better with fresh, but corn is not in season at Thanksgiving.

Learning to make a basic white sauce allows you to make so many dishes like Turkey ala King when you are using leftovers.

My mom used to make a corn casserole using Ritz crackers, but everyone likes just the plain creamed corn now. Our whole dinner is gluten free with four celiacs in our extended family.

I have used canned creamed corn once or twice - for a recipe where it was a small part of the whole.  I think, by itself, its not very tasty.  I would read the ingredients carefully because we know there is something to thicken it.  I try not to use canned veggies because I don't think they are as tasty as fresh or frozen.

i've used several different brands of creamed corn - just make sure to read the label very carefully.  and, like kareng, i used it as a part of a recipe (georgia spoonbread - yumzza) not a big canned veggie fan, either.   but i have never had a problem with canned fruits or veggies.  (the less ingredients, the better) as long as i remember to read the labels :)

Thank you all. I was referring to just plain canned corn and not creamed. I did not have an issue with it so worked out fine,

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
