EvB Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just wanted to share this: I usually buy turkey or chicken sausages at WF at the meat counter. The ingredients listed on the tag include all compliant things. However, I decided to ask the butcher/counter guy to confirm that what was on the tag is actually what's in the sausage and he informed me that there is sugar in all their sausage products! I was buying it for my family's lasagna, not for me, but I'm glad I asked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Booo. I might ask them to re-do their tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I have had similar problems with the tags and I think Tom Denham reported something similar. Even the animal quality of life ratings can be off at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MylaBean Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 That sucks. I really rely on WF for my paleo needs. I will have to start paying more attention to the tags now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BecFreeby Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Shoot, I just ate some last night. They even assured me there was no sugar when I asked. That's frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midgetinthebox Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Shoot, I just ate some last night. They even assured me there was no sugar when I asked. That's frustrating! I'd go based on what the butcher says. I had a long talk with one of the butchers at my Whole Foods and they redid their sausages to not have soy or sugar in them after he decided to do a whole30. If they're mixed up there, then it should be complient. OR just buy the ground meat without anything in it and mix the seasonings in. I think Well Fed had some mixes as well as Primal Cravings.

Delaine Ross Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 It IS frustrating... In the local Atlanta WF (Tom, the one on Ponce - not up near you) doesn't list "sugar" as an ingredient in the bacon in the butcher section but one of the gym members called the farm and they said they DO cure with sugar.

daveloper80 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I have yet to find a bacon or ham that is not cured with sugar. I think I checked every package they had at whole food yesterday. also, I asked the butcher at WF as well and he couldn't tell me with certainty if any of the sausages were sugar free.

Guest Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 We have excellent butchers are our Whole Foods. I talked with them at length and they agreed to smoke pork belly for me with any seasonings I prefer. I think the same would go for sausage because I was AIP at the time. Happily, I found local, pasture pigs and ordered half of one, so I won't be needing the service, but it is worth asking. Our guys stands there all day making sausages. He could probably season some for you, just like he offered to smoke the pork belly without sugar for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtandi Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 ugh. I went to Pedersons Farms website to look to see if they sell near me...nope :*( I have checked repeatedly with my WF, too. there are only a few there that are sugar/sweetener free (mild pork sausage is the one that comes into mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I have checked repeatedly with my WF, too. there are only a few there that are sugar/sweetener free (mild pork sausage is the one that comes into mind) Talk to the butchers at your Whole Foods. They can get you the plain pork or smoke pork belly. They do it there from scratch and mine will happily make me unsweetened, smoked bacon. I have opted not to go this route because I found a local farmer with happier pigs and chickens than the pork and poultry at my local WF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
