Modified corn starch?

I'm trying to preserve chocolate pudding in jam jars and have been doing a bit of reading about starches. I'd like to try a modified starch, preferably corn to avoid the gluten issue that comes with wheat starches. Does anyone know where to buy in GTA?
I can find it online through americanspice.com but thought I'd give a shot locally first.

    I would suggest you check Bulk Barn if there is one close to you.

      Challenge corn starch - the one you get at most supermarkets in the yellow box with the rooster on it - is gluten free.

        Thanks peppermint, I'm actually looking for modified starch, one that's been chemically fiddled with to make it keep it's jell after it's been cooled. I actually just found that Golda's Kitchen has some for sale so I'll head there tomorrow, thanks nonetheless :)
