  • What is the source of your citric acid? I have an allergy to corn and cannot consume citric acid derived from corn. Thank you.
  • Our supplier for this product tells us that corn is used in the fermentation process that results in citric acid, but it is denatured sufficiently that it does not have to be labeled as containing corn. The corn that's used is not GMO. People with corn sensitivities should consult with their health care professional regarding the use of citric acid.

  • Can you use homemade almond milk? If not, which kit could I use with almond or coconut milk?
  • Our cheese kits and cultures are designed for use with dairy milk. Making cheese with non-dairy milk is a pretty specialized procedure, and we don't really have products for that.
