Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I honestly cannot say for sure that these are legal. I have not personally pursued getting a written statement from Applegate Farms as to what is in their " organic spices " . You would have to know EXACTLY... and they might not want to reveal their proprietary blend. I would not want to risk this, based on past experience with hotdogs from another company (Shelton's) .... where the recipe was changed (without notice) to include potato starch. I just want to sleep at night, so I can't recommend parents use these. It's up to you to verify the ingredients for your own family's use..... and PLEASE pull them back out if ANY negative symptoms pop up. Patti Legal hotdogs? Are the organic stadium hotdogs by Applegate Farms legal? The ingredients are: Organic beef Water Sodium Lactate (from beets) Sea Salt Organic garlic Celery juice Organic spices Organic Paprika Lactic Acid Starter culture (Not from dairy) Thanks, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Is it garlic powder and onion powder, or fresh garlic and onion? And, what else falls into their spices category besides the paprika, garlic, and onion? Meleah Re: Legal hotdogs? The Uncured Applegate Farms Turkey Dogs have these ingredients listed: Turkey, Water.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Unless the company will reveal to you, in writing, what's actually under that heading " spices " , you cannot be sure these are legal. We can't recommend that you use them on SCD. Legally, manufacturers are allowed to hide all kinds of things and just call them " spices " . I'm sure this company means well.... but you'd need it detailed in writing. Hard copy, not e-mail. And then, you'd have to remember that they could change their recipe at any time without notifying you. Patti Re: Legal hotdogs?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hello, I was following your thread a little bit and I thought I would share my experience with Applegate Farm Turkey Dogs. My son had behavioral reactions to them because they contain " spices " . This is MSG. Not all people react to this but my son who is 3 has strong reactions to it according to blood test and with my observations. Processed food is processed food for us.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hello All Applegate Hotdogs are good hotdogs and do not have MSG. I was mistaken. According to a sales representative at Applegate Farms " spices " are white pepper, garlic, coriander, mace, onion, ginger and cardamom. I should have confirmed my suspicions before I posted that. Please except my apologies. [Norton AntiSpam] Re: Legal hotdogs? Alrighty I will give them a call and get it in writing K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 However, we still cannot deem this product legal for SCD. An individual who desperately desires to use this product would need to get a hard copy letter of guarantee mailed to them from the manufacturer listing all ingredients in their product, and stating that there are no other ingredients in the product. Garlic could be fresh garlic or garlic powder. Garlic powder would automaticly make the hotdogs illegal because all commerically produced garlic powders use some sort of starch as an anticaking agent. If you make your own, you'll understand why.
