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. from the Pecanbread wbsite Carol F.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi Darci, > I am curious how the legals are determined............ The commercial juices that have been listed either in BTVC or on the list were checked out by Elaine. I know > Welch's white grape juice in the plastic bottle is okay, correct? > When calling the company on Knudsens organic pear and concord grape, > they said they do not add any sugars or anything to their juices, > however I know they are illegal Just curious on how it's all > determined for the legal list. Just calling the company won't necessarily give you an accurate answer - you could be talking to a secretary (who is " reciting " a rote answer), you could be talking to someone who doesn't know of recent formulation changes (which happened recently for a brand of bacon and isn't always reflected on labels) etc. Sometimes there are also different formulations depending on where you live - but that depends on the product. So Elaine found some juice products that are okay to use. Other than that the best thing to do is follow the instructions in BTVC for determining what is legal.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Beech-Nut also said they add nothing to their baby food when I called them. A lab analysis found 3.8% sugar added.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Flor, Where did you send the food to be analyzed? I bet there are a lot of people on the list who have favorite store-bought items (like tomato sauce, etc.) who continue to use these products because they " look " legal on the labels, who might really benefit from having those products tested.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Perhaps when someone gets results from a lab such as this, we can load the results onto the pecanbread website, so that others may see it, and we can build up a database with members results?
