Have y'all ever noticed there is corn starch in baking powder? I got some at the store to make a flax muffin recipe I have and just happened to read the ingredients and there it was. Do they have corn starch?

IMHO, you cannot avoid things like cornstarch in everything. You can only do the best you can do.

And the amount of baking powder that is used in most recipes, divided by the number of servings, would not be much. Extrapolate that out to include how much cornstarch is in the baking powder and you are talking minute quantities.

They use it as an anti-caking ingredient, as they do in powdered sugar and other stuff that needs to stay light and fluffy. I wouldn't worry about it either!
