I buy Trader Joe's almond butter. The almonds aren't blanched though, so it's not for everyone. I personally have no problem with it.I buy Safeway's brand of yellow mustard. All the listed ingredients are legal, so it's just the 2% rule in question.Spectrum Organic Mayonnaise and Trader Joe's Organic Mayonnaise both look pretty legal, but YMMV. It's one of those things that you have to decide whether it's worth the risk of hidden illegals to have convenience. 's Tomato Juice is legal.Muir Glenn canned tomatoes work for some people. I read on here a while back that someone contacted them and found them to be legal.Someone on pecanbread contacted Penzy's and found their garlic and onion powders are legal.Certain flavors of Sretch Island Fruit Leather are legal (off hand, I'm not sure what all of them are). I know grape is legal, and can be found at Walmart. Digestive Wellness carries them, so I

feel confident in there legality.That's everything I can think of right now :-).HollyCrohn'sSCD 12/01/08>> Like legal mustard, legal nut butters, legal mayonnaise, legal tomato juice,and so on?

cashews are definitely legal and larabars all pretty much have cashews

in

them.

they are legal but very advanced - only some of them - if there are

things that

are illegal in the ingredients list they are illegal - obviously.

I recently ordered Hazelnut Butter from www. hazelnuthill.com. I emailed w/ the owner - it's a small family runned business. The product - hazelnut butter is good. The only ingredients are the nuts and salt. They are not specifically blanched, but the process they use nearly removes all of the skin. The chunkier pieces of the nuts settle to the top and the underlying butter is smoother.

I have searched high and low for one, but haven't found it.I too, buy the unblanched whole foods or TJ's almond butter but have noticed that it always makes me sick. My kids seem to be fine with it though.-> >> > Like legal mustard, legal nut butters, legal mayonnaise, legal tomato juice,and so on?
