How big of a deal are sulfites?

[letsgiveitago]

I put pumpkin spice in something and checked the label after.. "sulfiting agents" 

 

Is this going to mess us up in regards to allergies? Is it that big of a deal?

Not sure on allergies, but Whole30 rules and restart-wise, read this: http://whole30.com/2014/06/really-start-whole30/

Also, out of curiosity, for what kind of recipe were you using pumpkin spice?

Whole30 Pumpkin Breakfast Pudding

2 cups coconut milk
1 can mashed pumpkin
1 ripe banana
cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
salt
1 tbs. coconut oil, melted
3 tbs. almond meal

Preheat oven to 350. Heat coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pumpkin and banana. Cook for a couple of minutes, mashing up banana (you can also use an immersion blender, which I did). Season to taste with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice and salt.

 

I was debating making this... thinking it might be SWYPO..

Pumpkin pudding. on a whole30 blog, but maybe it shouldn't be. 

 

So I made it, realized I put sulfites in it, waited a day, fed some to my 10 month old, and stuck it in the freezer. I feel like I would be cheating if I ate it.

Any kind of pudding is off limits for Whole30 regardless of the ingredients. It's SWYPO.

Always, always, always check that recipes in blogs are compliant - they are not answerable to anyone but themselves.

If you ate it any of it read the link Chris provided for you in the post above & let us know what you decide, but going forward whether it's day 1 or day 21, stick to the recommended meal template of 1-2 fist sized servings of protein, 1-3 cups of veg, and 1-2 thumbs of fat (or a handful of olives, dollop of mayo etc.)

I didn't eat any, so I'm still in

I'll keep it for some baby food and keep the rest in the freezer and see if it's still good after whole30

Day4 going strong!
