Re: New SCDer here, Applegate Farm Hot Dogs?

[Guest guest]

Hi Dan,If they will send you a letter with their heading on it stating what is in their hot dogs that would be the best option.Let us know!thanks,BelleSubject: New SCDer here, Applegate Farm Hot Dogs?To: BTVC-SCD Date: Sunday, June 13, 2010, 9:43 PM

My 3 year old son is on the SCD diet for severe Crohns disease. I have called applegate farms regarding the ingredients for "the great one" hot dog. All the ingredients including the spices seem to check out ok for the SCD diet since there is no added sugar, grain product, or starch. Can anyone confirm this or provide an additional opinion? I tried the search option in this group but could not find the answer I was looking for. Thanks in advance. Dan

If they will send you a letter with their heading on it stating what is in their hot dogs that would be the best option.I'm not sure it's worth trying. I sent them a huge long letter, asking for a written letter from them, and this is what I got: Dear Alyssa,Below is a list of Applegate Farms products that contain nostarches, sugars or carrageenan. We have dehydrated apples in the chickenand apple sausages listed below.All of our cheesesBeef and Turkey BurgersHot Dogs: Great Organic Hot dog, Stadium dog, Big Apple dog, antibioticfreeand organic beef dogs, turkey dogs and chicken dogsOrganic Sausages: Spinach Feta, Sweet Italian, Chicken Apple, Fire RoastedSliced deli products: Turkey Salami, Turkey Bologna, Roast BeefBulk deli products (found in grocery delicatessens that slice this forconsumers): Smoked Turkey, Herb Turkey, No Salt Turkey, PepperTurkey,Southwest Turkey, both Roast Turkeys, Peppered Eye Round and RoastBeefAs far as spices, we use different spices in each (salt, pepper, garlic,paprika, onion, etc)I hope this list helps and if I can answer any further questions, pleaselet me know.

Hey :)wait, didn't someone just nix this? I think Eileen said she did the long conversation with them and their spices come premade and they can't trace whether or not they have anti-caking agent in them? and she thinks they do from a reaction she had? I wish I knew how to post a link to that thread here (how do you do that??) it's entitled " just sent an email to applegate " or something and in my email it's dated may 30th but I guess that's the date of the last post in the thread not the first.

best!

I think Eileen said she did the long conversation with them and their spices come premade and they can't trace whether or not they have anti-caking agent in them? and she thinks they do from a reaction she had? Yeah. I guess I should've been more clear in my response =) I meant to indicate that it didn't work out, since they only sent me an email and didn't get me a written letter, but I guess the email they sent me made it sound like their products are okay, which they're not!! Thanks for clarifying =) Cheers!Alyssa 16 yo UC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Azathioprine 75 mg 1x per dayPrednisone 20 mg 1x per day
