Marilyn:

Where are your comments on this? When I look up the topic there are

only 2 entries, yours and the original. Is, Welch's still " legal " ? I

stopped drinking it after reading this post and miss it.

Thanks for your help,

Misty,

If you look at other topics around the same time, you'll find that

Caroline contacted Welch's, and what she learned.

At 12:33 PM 10/29/2008, Caroline wrote:

Not good news from them. According to a

spokesperson from Welch's, their 100% Welch's Grape Juice, which lists as

ingredients: Grape Juice from concentrate (Filtered Water, grape Juice

concentrate), Grape Juice, Ascorbic Acid, (Vitamin c):

" Ascorbic acid (Vit c) is added in the form of dry crystals

manufactured by a biological fermentation process using corn sugars as

raw materials. "

The rep to whom I spoke said they no longer made a product that doesn't

have anything added. Does this mean Welch's Grape Juice is out

also?

Not necessarily. Keep in mind that Vitamin C, aka ascorbic acid,

is legal. So is citric acid.

Remember that milk is just as much of an illegal as corn is -- but

the biological fermentation we use when making our SCD yogurt turns the

illegal milk into legal yogurt. As a consequence, the biological

fermentation used to make the ascorbic acid should break down all

products which might be an issue.

I grant you that there may be some hyper-sensitive individuals who cannot

tolerate this, just as there are some individuals who cannot tolerate SCD

dairy products. (I know one person who could never take a Vitamin C

supplement until she hunted up some which was not made from corn, so it

can happen.)

So Welch's is not something I can declare legal or not-legal. It is

something to be taken note of, and if someone has difficulty with it,

they may want to make their own juice so they can be certain nothing has

been added to it.

Please recall that the Knudsen Just Juice line, although from

concentrate, was approved by Elaine, and does offer some

alternatives.
