About The Corn-Free Broadside

The Corn-Free Broadside is an independent English-language reference publication for Canada on living without corn. It is edited by The Corn-Free Broadside editorial team and hosted on Cloudflare. The site covers four areas.

Corn avoidance basics

This section explains where corn appears in daily life and how to plan around it at home and away. It stays practical and avoids brand names and clinic lists.

Labels and ingredients

This section helps you read Canadian food labels and spot corn derivatives. It covers the names corn can use on an ingredient list, the limits of Canadian labelling rules, and how to ask a manufacturer a question that gets a usable answer.

Medication and care

This section looks at corn away from the plate: excipients in prescription medication, personal care products, packaging and containers, and hospital care including intravenous dextrose and enteral nutrition. It is written for the households who ask and for the nurses, dietitians and pharmacists who answer.

Corn in Canada

This section gathers the facts and science of corn in Canada: where it is grown, how it is used, and what public data show. It states what is known and what is not.

How the texts are written

Texts are written from public sources, and each article names its sources. The articles are written in the third person about organisations and people. Limits are stated where a source is unclear or a question has no public answer. The publication sells nothing, lists no clinic, no brand and no support group, and is not a substitute for the advice of a qualified professional.

Who it is for

The site is for Canadian households living with a corn allergy or a corn sensitivity, the relatives and friends who cook for them, and the nurses, dietitians and pharmacists who answer their questions.
