Not only did I react, but so did my non SCD friend who is a health

conscious vegetarian. So I emailed and phoned and had a correspondence

with the Customer Service representative. She had another person

forward the exact process the Pecans are put through.

I suggest you make your own determination since my friend and I are

both chemically sensitive and this may not hold true for the majority

of others.

I get some excellent SCD compliant items at Canadian Costco and just

renewed my membership. here are some:

Italian Parmesan Cheese in the whole wedge, Tine Norwegian Jarslberg

sliced cheese, Western Creamery DCCC (Baker's cheese 4%) sugar free

smoked salmon , Renoir Capers, Marques de Paiva Organic Whole Coffee

Beans, medium roast, cultured butter, frozen ocean caught sea scallops

and shrimp, lamb chops, organic salad field greens, eggs, prosciutto

among others. From time to time they carry frozen organic green beans.

There are a few things I get at Whole Foods that are not a fair price

and the savings at Costco lowered my food bills substantially.

BTW " Smoke " as an added flavoring is not legal, but meats, fish and

poultry done in a smokehouse are.

I did not check about products in the U.S.
