Macadame 2 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Decided to buy Ghee yesterday at Trader Joe's. The label says it contains milk !?! Does this mean it's not compliant? Link to post Share on other sites
missmary 5242 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ghee and clarified butter are the only dairy that is ok on the whole30. Link to post Share on other sites
Vian 630 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 They have to put that on the label because it is derived from a dairy product and there may be trace amounts of milk solids in it, just so they don't get sued. It's allowed for whole30 though. Link to post Share on other sites

tj2650 24 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ghee may have trace amounts of milk protein. Due to allergies where some people react when there are only 5 parts per million, the FDA requires anything made from an allergen to be labelled. Link to post Share on other sites

Badwolf 54 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 One of my favorite paleo-related activities is to make my own clarified butter. And it's super easy! Try it the Michelle Tam way... http://nomnompaleo.com/post/15235810877/d-i-y-ghee Link to post Share on other sites
