RobinMcCann Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm on day 4 of this Whole 30 journey (because I had to start over......yikes!). As I was shopping over the weekend I noticed that carrots had some sugar on the ingredients list. Is this the natural sugars in carrots and are we allowed to have them? I know artificial sugar is not on this plan but how does carrots have artificial sugar in them? Just wondering. Input would be helpful!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsie95 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 was it on the nutrition label? or the ingredient list? If it is in the ingredients that means its added and is a no-go If it is simply on the nutrition facts it is simply naturally occurring sugar in the food and is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crastney Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 presumably you mean tinned carrots? I've never seen ingredients lists on loose carrots before. yes, if they're tinned, and the ingredients list has 'sugars' then they're definitely out. you might find that fresh carrots are cheaper (but maybe they're a bit dirtier, and might need washing and peeling and slicing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 There's a huge difference between the ingredients list and the nutrition facts panel. Where were you looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinMcCann Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 These are regular carrots in a bag. They are fresh carrots but in a bag. It caught me off guard to see sugar listed in the nutrition facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there's no sugar listed in the ingredients list, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
