sammousse Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No--I'm not totally nuts for asking if anything at Noodles and Company is compliant. . . I used to get their natural (whatever that means to them) pork and a bunch of steamed vegetables in a bowl. It's yummy and filling. The young gal at the counter had no idea if there were add'l items in the ingredients. Anyone have any details on this one?? Thanks in advance!

Moderators LadyM Posted February 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2015 You can figure out a lot of what's in their food here: http://www.noodles.com/nutrition/ One of the thing it mentions is that all of their menu items contain fully refined soy oil. That would make all of their menu items off limits on a Whole 30. I'm not exactly sure what's in their pork, but you could probably contact the company to find out. You'd think meat and steamed veggies would be fine, but these chains are known for plumping up meats with all kinds of nasties. Better to triple check. Good luck!

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted February 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2015 If you aren't making it yourself, you can assume there is all kinds of unbelievable crap in it. For example, Boston Market has a side called "Steamed Spinach" which my husband used to get. Here is the ingredients list: Spinach, Garlic Butter Sauce, Water, Butter (Cream, Salt), Onions, Garlic, Salt, Modified Cornstarch, Whey Protein Concentrate, Lemon Juice, Yeast Extract, Spices, Natural Flavor (Rendered Chicken Fat, Natural Flavor), Citric Acid. You have to get the nutritional info. They're required by law to have it available, but you will have to ask. Even better, google before you go.

shortystylee Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Most fast food chains like this will have ingredient lists available but you have to ask for it. I worked at Panera in university and we had a HUGE binder we kept behind the counter with all the ingredient info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
