There is an heightened awareness that more folks have an allergic reaction to corn. Many retail food companies are choosing to list corn as an ingredient source on labels like in place of modified food starch you will now see modified corn starch.

Similar to these top eight allergies, corn allergy can manifest in hives and severe allergic reactions, like headaches and stomachaches. The true cure for a food allergy is to avoid the food.
