I never even heard of the brand and it wasn't one of Elaine's original legal products. this list is from www.pecanbread.com You really don't know everything that is food unless you make it yourself. Katy

SCD Legal Foods

Link to SCD legal foods. List of legal commercial juices: -Tropicana Pure premium Orange Juice in refrigerated cardboard container, bottles or jugs or refrigerated six pack "minis."-Dole canned pineapple juice-Heinz and 's canned Tomato juice-ONLY the Knudsen's *Just Juice* line (not the rest of their products):

Just Black Cherry

Just Blueberry

Just Cranberry

Just Pomegranate

Organic Just Concord Grape

Organic Just Tart Cherry-Kedeem Organic grape juice-Welch's 100% Grape juice (Red, Purple and white) in glass bottles or plastic jugs-Freshly pressed, pasteurized refrigerated non sparkling Apple Cider with no added sweetener. IMPORTANT NOTE:A while ago, a list member called both Welch's and Tropicana about their calcium fortified juices. BOTH companies use a calcium supplement that has starch in them. This makes their calcium fortified juices illegal.Recently, Tropicana changed their packaging; both the Tropicana Pure premium Orange Juice with calcium and the Tropicana Pure premium Orange Juice without calcium look almost identical. You need to inspect to insure that you are buying juice without any added calcium.There is no designated Pecanbread person to investigate the legality of foods. Even if there were, it is up to each person to decide if they wish to take the risk of an unlisted food. In the case of juice, our approved list contains widely available brands.Homemade food is more delicious and nutritious.List for SCD baked goods. Digestive Wellness. SCD Bakery JGourmet

These are good sources for grain-free, starch-free, gluten-free, yeast and lactose free baked goods. Some contain advanced ingredients like nut pieces and dried fruits so use according to the stage of progress you are at. Children should not use nut pieces, peanut butter, seeds and dried fruits during the first months of the SCD diet. (Nuts are easier to digest when they have been ground up into nut flour or butter ) As well, some of these websites contain other ready made foods that we cannot vouch for although the companies declare they are suitable for SCD. We always like to caution that you use such items at your own risk as we cannot validate the ingredients personally.

Stacey, it's a good question and it comes up from time to time. The BEST way to know that something is legal is to make it yourself. Then you will know exactly what you put into it. Since Elaine died, nobody can declare something scd legal anymore. But when she was alive she personally checked out some foods/companies and she felt that Welches, even though it was from concentrate, with nothing else added was okay. Has it changed since then? I don't know but some people react to it and alot don't. Would those people of normally reacted to grapes or the mold on the grapes? I don't know. Elaine did say that if there is a food that you want to check out to see if it's legal, you should get a hard copy letter on the companies letterhead and ask what is in it. Most companies get some of their manufactureringredients from other companies (like the spices in foods, if it's mixed fruit it could come from other companies) so it needs to be checked out extensively. Then you need to know if products "although corn-free or nut free, are they processed on the same line as other corn or nut products". And then after that is done, you would eat it if you felt it was okay and if you had a reaction to it you would just not eat it. I hope this isn't to confusing. Katy
