I have been conducting
oral challenges of products advertised as "corn free" by the
manufacturer. If I experience a corn
allergy reaction, I then file reports with the manufacturer, the FDA, and the
FTC.
WARNING:
I strongly recommend that you do not attempt any oral
food challenges unless you are in the presence of your physician.

Oral challenges of NutriGold
B-Complex Gold 60 Capsules
UPC Code 859447002777
Lot #8635G
Best By: Aug 2020
I took one capsule at 5:40
pm on March 9 after my evening meal, and did not experience any allergic
reaction to this product as a result of my allergy to corn. I took another capsule at 12:55 pm on March
10 after lunch with no allergic reaction.
Therefore, I have deemed this product “safe for me.” However, please trial with caution.
Note that I only tested at
1+ for corn allergy on my skin-scratch tests in 2011; however, my reactions to
corn/corn derivatives can be quite severe.
In the event you
experience a corn allergy reaction to a product that is labeled "corn
free," refer to instructions for filing reports in the following links:
Non-FDA-Compliant
"Corn-Free" Claims (Revised 11/16/17); Title 21 U.S.C. - Section 343,
Chapter 1 - Adulterated or Misbranded Foods or Drugs
FTC Filing a Complaint to
Report False and Misleading Labeling
