RE: how do you know if it's legal?

Hi ,

When you look at Friendship brand farmer cheese ( which is legal), you will see that is has close to zero carbs and zero sugars. This one clue that it is legal. This means there is no lactose to bother your gut. It is the same with aged cheeses---the aging and enzymes 'eat' the lactose in the cheese so you don't.

Not familiar with the Bondost, can't find nutrition info for it. read the labels--if you see carbs or sugars, I wouldn't eat it.

Hey everyone, I had another SCDer ask the other day if the farmer's cheese from IKEA was legal. I remember reading that there was more than one type of farmer's cheese - the one that's crumbly (legal) and ...one that has liquid in it (illegal)? I looked up what he was talking about and found that it's called Bond Ost (or Bondost) and I found this wiki page about it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BondostSo I'm wondering a couple thing, 1. does anyone know if it's the legal brand? And 2. if you find a cheese that's not on the legal/illegal list, how can you tell if it's safe? What are you looking for on (I'm guessing) the nutritional label that tells you whether or not it's okay? Oh also...I found a farmer's cheese at whole foods. It wasn't crumbly but it wasn't at all wet. So yeah...how do I tell if it's legal if it doesn't actually fit either description? Thanks in advance! :)Stacey
