Angela Young Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm on day 4 of my first Whole30 and just ate a bowl of sauerkraut with leftover chicken. I had been excited to find sauerkraut without sugar added, and failed to notice it had sodium bicarbonate and sodium bisulfite in it. Crap. Does this require a restart or is it a "lesson learned, move on" experience? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Sorry, ingesting sulfites merits a restart. Or call it a Whole34 if that works better for your mindset. Out of curiosity, was the sauerkraut in the aisle or in the refrigerated section of your grocery store? The latter might be a better option for you next time.

Angela Young Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. :-( The sauerkraut was actually in the refrigerated section.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good lesson in carefully reading labels going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill_L Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I just checked mine. Although I haven't started yet, I am trying to prepare. The sauerkraut I just bought has sodium bisulphites. I guess that's going back... I did read the label, but I was looking for sugar. Thanks for this post. I'm learning all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vian Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just wanted to point out that sodium bicarbonate is just baking soda and is just fine on a whole30. It's the Sodium Bisulfite that's an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Sodium Bisulfite that's an issue. Haha, yes, thanks...that was actually a typo! That was supposed to read sodium benzoate and sodium bisulfite, instead. Oops! Not sure what sodium benzoate is, so that might be ok, too. Darn the sulfites, though...I was doing so great! I stayed on track even for the rest of that day, but am bummed out about having to add 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally paranoid now and triple checking everything....and then checking again. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
