Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm not an expert but the ingrediants on some of the bars are SCD legal. Not ones containing chocolate. Check the ingrediants. carolfrilegh c.frilegh@...> wrote: > > > > Are there any SCD store bought treats I could send into school for > my son > > for the teacher to keep on hand when candy is given to the kids?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 > > I'm not an expert but the ingrediants on some of the bars are SCD legal. Not ones containing chocolate. Check the ingrediants. Check juice ingredients which appear legal but 2% of the ingredients do not have to be disclosed on labels. If you insist on using these bars it is at your own risk. Homemade vs. Storebought There are a number of reasons why homemade items are necessary for SCD™ instead of the " convenient " store-bought items. The 2% rule: There is a rule that allows some ingredients that constitute less than 2% of the total weight or volume unnecessary to report on the ingredient list. This can include sugar and other illegal ingredients, since these do not fall under the list of usual allergens. Store-bought products often pass through many sets of hands before they are put in the final package. For example, some juice concentrates can be made in one plant and then shipped to another plant where water is added and then they are bottled. The final producer can " honestly " say they did not add any illegals but what about the first producer of the concentrate. The original concentrate does not even have to be made in the same country as the final bottler. Commercial producers are not bound to report some of the ingredients listed in their foods. They can use processing aides, enzymes etc., that are used in the production of the food but are not technically an ingredient. When you make foods for your children you know " exactly " what you are putting into it. Buying foods such as cookies that are not listed on this site as suitable SCD™ products, can lead to trouble. Some producers may unintentionally use illegal ingredients. For example, a commercial producer uses honey that is not pure (i.e., cut with corn syrup) but includes honey on the ingredient list. The end result is that your child is unknowingly ingesting illegals. Some companies blatantly lie about the ingredients in their products. Carol F.

They conferred on this when Elaine was alive and also had the opportunity to check the cookbook Grain-Gree Gourmet. There have been a few issues with Digestive Wellness selling non-compliant products they claimed were SCD legal but they have removed those and are anxious to be compliant and accept guidance regarding legality if required. We had similar issues with Custom Probiotics where the sales rep contradicted SCD protocols. (I do not know about Kirkman but DF,Mimi, Jody G or Sheila T. probably do.) We feel strongly compelled to be strict about SCD food compliance in the best interests of people who depend on getting results from the diet. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 hey, these bars look good. i just spoke with the company, and they ensured me that whatever they put into these bars, all the ingredients are listed on the label code. everything is gluten free, starch free, and refined sugar free. The ingredients are: Apple Pie: Ingredients: Dates, Walnuts, Unsweetened Apples, Almonds, Raisins, Cinnamon Banana Cookie: Ingredients: Almonds, Dates, Unsweetened Bananas Cashew Cookie: Ingredients: Cashews, Dates Cherry Pie: Ingredients: Dates, Almonds, Unsweetened Cherries Pecan Pie: Ingredients: Dates, Pecans, Almonds I I understand that these are not for beginners, but they should be fine for advanced. Check it out yourself, call the company, speak with Tori: office: toll free: davis brandijacksondavis@...> wrote: Carol Why not?-... they're just fruit and nuts. carolfrilegh c.frilegh@...> wrote: > > > > Are there any SCD store bought treats I could send into school for > my son > > for the teacher to keep on hand when candy is given to the kids?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 > > Carol > > Why not?-... they're just fruit and nuts. > > I contacted Sheila who was off to trick or treat with her kids and she suggested the following: 1. Are the bananas ripe? 2. Are they California dates, or Medjool dates (both legal) or the kind that are stuck together usually with illegal syrup? 3. You need to get the exact ingredients and qualifications in writing not email signed by someone in an appropriate position at the company 4. They don't sound like they are for beginners, but those doing *really well* 5. The ingredients would have to be rechecked periodically because companies do change formulations. So you see how careful w have to be. it is not enough to say the ingredients sound legal. Carol F. Toronto, Celiac, SCD 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
