some minimally processed chicken may be illegal

[Guest guest]

Hi, all,

I know I've advised people to look for the words " minimally processed "

on packages of supermarket chicken to find chicken without illegals.

Well, I have to revise that. I was just at Meijer's (a regional

supermarket) and saw some chicken labeled " minimally processed " that

also said it had up to " 15% natural chicken broth added " . I would not

consider this chicken legal, " minimally processed " or not. Just

another reminder to read labels carefully.

I've been seeing that consistently down here in NW FL. The ones I've seen that

say minimally processed usually always have " chicken broth " in them and some

even have carragean listed. I just started watc

We only buy chicken, beef, and buffalo that states organic, no hormones, no

antibiotics. It is sad that what you would think is only meat has been injected

with pure junk!

Does any one know where I can find affordable organic lamb? What about other

types of meat?

What are we to do if there are no other choices? I just realized

tonight when I sent dh to the store to get chicken (and said--don't buy

any with broth--but he heard don't buy any with sugar) and he brought

home stuff that is 12% broth, which includes maltodextrin. I checked

the wrapper on the chicken I've been buying (different brand) and it

says it has *15%* broth but doesn't mention any sugars, just salt but

does say 'added seasonings'. I didn't realize that until tonight. I

asked at a local store about DCCC and was told if there's no tag on the

shelf, they can't order it. I think that's stupid. Can't they special-

order (broth-free) chicken if people request it? I just can't see how

I'm going to be able to stay on this diet with my clan if I have to buy

organic chicken at the price it runs.

Hi, Cathe,

Not sure where you live. Are you anywhere near a Trader Joe's? Near

me they have the best price on natural chicken. They also carry

organic. Or, if you're near a SuperTarget, they are starting to carry

these, too, and they put them on sale sometimes.

There are grocery stores like Publix and Whole Foods that carry organic chicken.

I would only trust organic chicken. Ask your grocery store meat guy to special

order organic meat. They are doing at our Publix here and it is great not to

have to go to a Health food store or order online. I just wish I could find

Organic Lamb.

You could always try to find a farmer around you locally to buy

directly from. You can usually get better prices than buying organic

in the stores. Try searching eatwild.com for farmers near you.

Sometimes you may not be able to find organic farmers near you (that

is too expensive and difficult for many small farmers to keep up with)

but you can find ones that are completely natural and basically

organic without the label quite often depending on where you live.

I can't afford organic chicken. If you can, that's

great.

I purchase Tyson chicken breasts at Costco. They have

retained water, no broth added. Another good brand is

Farms. I buy their chicken parts usually.

,

I'm with Cathe. I can't afford any kind of organic or truely natural chicken at

our very small health food store here. There's absolutely no way.

Unfortunately most of the chicken I buy (boneless skinless breasts) doesn't say

anything at all about what if anything is added. I have found the info on a

little bit of the chicken that actually says, but they all say natural flavors

or carragean or chicken broth added. How much damage would chicken do if it had

something in it? That wouldn't stop the healing would it?

Also, and I don't know if this helps, because I don't know where you

are: In Texas, at the HEB stores, they sell " all-natural " chicken

raised without antibiotics or hormones but fed a conventional diet.

It's much cheaper than organic, but still " clean " meat.

Other stores, I'm sure, have their own brand of " natural " meat.

And all meat of any kind at all Whole Foods stores, whether organic or

not, has been raised without hormones or antibiotics, and the meat

department there is VERY clear on what ingredients are in the meat.

Again, their meat is more expensive than the cheaper stores, but it's

also possible to buy cheaper cuts of meat and make it stretch.

My company cooks for a lot of kids with autism and gut problems, and I

think it's worth it to pay extra for the all-natural meat (not

organic) and then make it go further by buying cheaper cuts, making it

into soup, making meatballs or meatloaf, etc.

My younger son was on the autism spectrum and can't process chemicals

properly, so whether the meat is SCD legal or not, I don't think he

needs added antibiotics and hormones to deal with in his meat as well.

I do think it's still really disgusting that some places don't label

their meat.

We should be able to walk into any store and buy meat and have faith

in what's in it.

Sigh. If only it were so easy.

Tyson has lots of kinds of chicken. Everyone please be careful

reading the Tyson labels. Most of their products have additives, but

some do not.

[Guest guest]

I do think the additives in chickens would prevent healing. Flavors

and broths can easily have gluten, which many of us eliminated even

before SCD. Carrageenan is bad stuff that causes stomach problems.

My husband is not on SCD, but I at least got him to stop buying ice

cream (for himself) with carrageenan.

[Guest guest]

Yes, all the Tyson products available at my local stores have added

broth. :-( Luckily we do have one brand, an Amish one I believe, that

doesn't have anything added and it is fairly cheap. We also buy

chicken from a local farmer that isn't too expensive as well.

I've been looking and can't find any " natural " brands in stores locally that

don't have all the injectables. I thought I had and then read a little closer

and it had junk added. Around here it is primarily people of means (there's not

many around like that), odd people and those who have health issues who buy

natural stuff. It's very economically depressed normally and now esp since the

construction is down and other peoples have come in and taken the jobs from the

locals, so there is not much need for the truely " natural " meats. I get my

chicken on the best sale they have. That's how I afford it. I'll keep looking

around.

Great, well I'm stuck then. I have no choice but to feed him chicken with

possible illegals in it. My grocery bill has more than doubled just for my

son's SCD. I really can't afford that already. Now on top of that, I would have

to pay more than double per lb for chicken at that tiny HFS in town. It's

impossible. I'll just have to keep going as normal and hope it doesn't hurt him

too bad.

I get Sander's chicken at Safeway. It's not organic but nothing is added.

The cost is equal to or cheaper than Tyson's--especially on whole chickens.

I'm not sure if Sander's is local or not. They have liver and all the

different cuts. They also special order if you call the main office or fill

out a request at the store. You may want to ask if they could possibly find

a source for you.

No Sander's brand here and no Safeway. I'm telling you this area is the arm pit

of the USA in available grocery stores. We have Winne Dixie (a little expensive

at times), Alberston's (really expensive most of the time). Super Walmart and a

couple of home grown type 10% over cost places that save me on in season fresh

fruit and veggies and on store bought meat. I used to travel quite a bit. If I

did get to your area or other places that have those brands, I do stock up, put

it on ice and take it back here with me, but we don't travel anymore. I'll keep

the names in mind if I ever do get other places again.

Here is an article on chicken from the NY times, mentioning some

brands that may be available to people, dependingon where they live.

The focus of the article was on arsenic in chicken but the good news

is that even some non-organic brands no longer use feed with

arsenic. One of the organic brands mentioned is Eberly, which we are

able to get at our Whole Foods and it is not much more than what we

would pay for regular chicken elsewhere (I am in a very expensive

grocery area so that everything is expensive!).

Bonita,

As always, we do the absolute best we can. While

the object of the exercise is to eliminate all

the illegals in order to maximize healing,

sometimes, it absolutely isn't possible. I've

mentioned a supplement which I use for muscle

spasm which contains illegals. My alternative is

becoming a prescription codeine junkie. I

Clearly, you should continue looking for chicken

(and other meats) without additives. But you've

seen an improvement in his appetite and in other

areas which indicates that there IS healing taking place.

So don't kick yourself because the budget just

won't stretch to all-organic. Just keep doing the

best you can possibly manage.

Around here (Delaware), we can get Bell & chicken. No antibiotics, no

added water. I don't know their website, or how far their market reaches.

Bonita,

As always, we do the absolute best we can. While

the object of the exercise is to eliminate all

the illegals in order to maximize healing,

sometimes, it absolutely isn't possible. I've

mentioned a supplement which I use for muscle

spasm which contains illegals. My alternative is

becoming a prescription codeine junkie. I

discussed this with Elaine when I began SCD,

because I did not want to blow the diet from the

start. She said that I would have to view it as a

medication which can't be compounded without illegals.

Now, my healing has gone more slowly than it

might have had I been able to eliminate that

supplement, but there is still healing taking place.

Clearly, you should continue looking for chicken

(and other meats) without additives. But you've

I am extremely sensitive but do well with Bell and

chicken. Last spring I switched to a different

brand (Nature's Promise) and started having abdominal

pain and weight loss. The label read exactly the same

as Bell and , but something must have been

different either in the processing or packaging. I

switched back to Bell and . It took a few weeks,

but the pain stopped. I'm hesitant to switch brands

again.

Here's the link for what states carry Bell and :

Bonita,

I wanted to chime in and say that I too have to weigh

the risks and benefits. I am on sulfasalazine for my

rhematoid arthritis. It has corn starch in it. I have

tried to cut down on my medication, but I always end

up paying for it later.

My son is also on a melatonin supplement. It does not

have corn starch in it, but it does have some slightly

offensive additives, I guess you could say. But he

does not sleep well without it.

So we do what we have to do. I'm on the brink of

poverty myself and I wonder how long we can keep doing

this diet. We just press on and hope for the best.
