Is XANTHUM GUM derived from GMO corn or ANY other UNnatural source?

There is no Xanthum Gum in Petzlife Oral Care Spray, at least there was none listed on my spray bottle or product web site.

It could be. Xanthan gum is a food additive that is actually a secretion of a bacteria mixed with sugars from corn, wheat or soy (which may or may not be GMO). If you wanted to buy it in bulk, Bobs Red Mill makes an organic/GMO free Xanthan gum by the bag...not exactly sure if they use GMO free in the dental spray though.

Ingredients are: Distilled water, grain alcohol, peppermint oil, grapefruit seed and grape seed extract, plus rosemary, thyme and neem oil. Hope that helps. It works for my 30 lb dog who is 8 years old and keeps them clean. He just had a vet check-up last month.

Much xanthum gum is made from corn products. We know there are strains of GMO corn, so it is possible that xanthum gum could be made from it. Whether GMO corn is used by xanthum gum manufacturers is an open question.

Here's what wisegeek.com said about it. Xanthan gum is a natural sugar derived from corn. Used in everything from makeup to ice cream, reviewing it on Web MD it does not appear to be harmful unless use in ridiculously large amounts.

It isn't listed on the package, but on their website FAQs: "Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment."

I understand that it is, but that it is non-GMO. Not being a biochemist, I can't tell you any more than that. However, if you want more information, you might try calling the company I ordered it from (Xylitol USA Inc. (866) 948-1999, or going to www.xylitolusa.com

Pretty much, yes it is. I occasionally add a bit of xanthum gum, but not always.

Sorry, but they did not state whether the corn flour was non-GMO or not. What I do know was that Birds Custard powder was around for over 50 years and the quality is the same. My mom made fine custards with it.

My husband works for Cornaby's and he said it is certified non-GMO corn called waxy maize. It is one of those rare corn products that is non-gmo. It is the same variety of corn used in Ultra Gel http://www.amazon.com/Cornabys-Ultra-Gel-Gluten-Free-Thickener/dp/B00910LUQS.

I called Hain Consumer relations 800-434-4246 and was told that the dextrose was from corn,then I asked if it was Gmo she replied...that they couldn't guarantee it wasn't. In the trash you go. No more Hain products in our home. Stick to whole foods!

Hey ggoose: The answer is: yes-ish. I spoke to two different people at Bob's and got the same answer, so I'm inclined to trust them. They said that the corn comes from single source farms using non-GMO seeds. However, they cannot account for cross pollination with potential GMO corn. So, it's as non-GMO as one can get short of testing all seeds prior to planting.

The bottle notes "Ingredients: water, propylene glycol, natural and artificial flavors, xanthan gum, natural color". The xanthan gum is a thickener (this is not thin like vanilla extract). It is also gluten-free.

The label lists the following ingredients: Xylitol, calcium lactate, magnesium stearate, gum Arabic, natural raspberry & blackberry essence & beewax (glazing agent). I don't think that there is any difference as to from what plant Xylitol comes from, but Spry says it comes from non-gmo corn. Here is a link to their web page. http://www.xlear.com/about-xylitol-sweetener/xylitol-faq/

No xanthan gum is made from xanthanan gum. Which is made from the outer layer of a tiny inactive bacteria called Xanthomanas campestria.

Terri, I was wondering this myself before purchasing. This is the answer they give on their website regarding GMOs. Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment.

I have been using this product for a few months. It is very good in my baking. However, You are right to be concerned about it being made from corn. I have read on the product website that it is not GMO. With that said, I have also heard from an expert that no corn should be trusted. Therefore, I will NOT reorder this product. We work too hard to be GMO free to take a chance on this product. My honest opinion.
