sugacracka Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have noticed this item in a few different products that look approved but don't know about the sunflower oil? Does anybody know?? Also is the Trader Joe's Sparkling flavored water approved? thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andria Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 No, sunflower oil is not approved. The only seed/vegetable oil that is allowed is canola oil for purposes of dining out. Trader Joe's sparkling water should be OK, but you have to check the ingredients. The one that I am familiar with is OK, even the flavored ones. You need to check for added sugars and other non compliant ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted November 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2013 Sunflower oil is a bad choice for cooking, but is acceptable as an ingredient in foods. There are many different seed/vegetable oils on the market and only a few of them are forbidden during a Whole30 - peanut oil and soybean oil. We don't forbid all of them even though they are a poor choice for cooking because that would make in almost impossible for anyone to eat in a restaurant during their Whole30. We generally do not okay specific brands because vendors have a bad habit of changing ingredients. We have had several occasions when a product that many people enjoyed during a Whole30 was reformulated to include off-plan ingredients. So basically, you need to check ingredient labels any time you are doing a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andria Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Cool, thanks Tom. I didn't realize that about sunflower oil. I definitely don't cook with it, but now I can get dried cranberries! I haven't been able to find any sans sunflower oil even the ones sweetened with juice @ Whole Foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healthymomma13 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I used Montreal steak seasoning tonight in a turkey burger. I was devastated when I read that it contained sunflower oil as an ingredient. Now I am relieved to eat that it is ok as an ingredient. Whew! So happy to have this forum.
