mrssmoh Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I got these at WF today and forgot to check the label! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayell Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It means they were processed in a plant that also processes products or ingredients in that list. It's mostly a safeguard for people with serious allergies or celiac. The chances are high that there is no measurable amount of those ingredients in your nuts because machines are cleaned very well between batches. AFAIK, so long as you don't have those problems, it's probably ok to eat the macadamias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2012 Kayell is right about the meaning of the ingredient label. I probably would eat them if I had bought them, but you should find another brand in the future for Whole30 purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Mauna Loa Macadamia nuts are pretty salty but they are good. Also, Trader Joe's has good Mac nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Mini-rant about this: I shop at Whole Foods, but I really have a hard time with the fact that most of their stuff is marked that way. They use shared equipment for everything, except for their gluten-free baked goods. And at my local Whole Foods, they put the gluten-free packaged foods section almost next to the wheat grinder, right near the produce. I complained about it and their response was, "We can retrieve products from the shelves for you if you don't want to go near the wheat." They push the grain/legume/plant oil "Health Starts Here" agenda at WF now, and that is their main focus. Sigh. But I still shop there because they have most of what I need. I told one employee that their slogan should be "Health Ends Here," because so many of their products now contain sugar and wheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
