GFChris Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Did you ask if the salami and capicola are gluten-free or have any sort of sweetener? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda M Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 All of that should be listed in the post. I took the infomation from the additives cheet sheat and they responded to about each additive and meat individually. The exact response is what I posted.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 8, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 8, 2015 All of that should be listed in the post. I took the infomation from the additives cheet sheat and they responded to about each additive and meat individually. The exact response is what I posted. I think the concern about sweetners is a lot (A LOT) of companies don't think 'maple syrup' or other sweetners are 'sugar'. So the meat may be 'sugar' free but it may not be 'sweetener' free. And none of the ingredients listed indicate whether it's grain/gluten free... So it's still not certain from this list whether those two meats are meeting the Whole30 criteria. (no grains, soy, sweeteners, dairy, beans/legumes, alcohol) Just to be clear to others who may come by this thread, you have to ask every time at every restaurant. Even if these items turned out to be Whole30 compliant, it may be true of one region, but not true of another, or may be true today but change in a month.

SpinSpin Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 You might want to ask if the Salami has wine in it, as most commercial salami does contain wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avs4s21berg Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 None of the meats are compliant... dextrose and caramel color are both sugars! https://www.jimmyjohns.com/about-us/our-food/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
