It is a handy little reminder list to pass to people to avoid repeated questions.

Helen R: It is good that Natco replied to you and it is as I suspected. This is obviously several years since they replied to you; however, the description of their Natco fine corn meal on various supermatket websites always stresses that corn meal is “naturally free from gluten”. Not a word of warning about the possibility of cross-contamination due to manufacturing methods.

Well, this past weekend I made two delicious cornbread loaves using their fine corn meal was severely glutened. I am currently undergoing intensive treatment for the excrutiating rash which has spread all over my body, among other symptoms. I have had to give this one away, plus the bread. Cleared the kitchen of anything with the name Natco on it!

I’m wheat-intolerant, not coeliac, but have recently found that small amounts of contamination bother me, so the Asian-grocers-option is suddenly less useful. I did write to Natco and they advised me thus:
‘…we pack our Rice flour and Maize flour on the same line as product containing gluten. Our Besan (gram) flour is packed on a dedicated line – however, we produce pack product containing gluten in separate areas of the same factory.’

I can assume from this that their gram flour is probably OK for me, but not their rice or maize.
Is there collated information, anywhere in existence, on this subject? It would be great to know which brands were safe to eat.
