newwhole30er Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Can you help me figure out if this balsamic vinegar is compliant? INGREDIENTS: WINE VINEGAR, CONCENTRATED GRAPE MUST, CARAMEL COLOR. CONTAINS: SULFITES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I believe caramel color makes it non-compliant, I think the color is made from sugar. Hold off on using it until a mod can confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yep caramel colour is made from sugar which makes it off limits. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newwhole30er Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Oh wow, interesting, that wasn't even the ingredient I wondered about- I wasn't sure if "contains sulfites" is ok as long as they're not listed in the ingredients. So that part of it IS ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 If the sulphites are not listed in the ingredients then they are naturally occurring and are okay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuilterInVA Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 If it contains carmel color it is not a good brand. The one I buy has nothing in it but the balsamic vinegar and it says contains natural sulfites from grapes. It is so delicious. Cheap stuff doesn't compare.

enthuz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wow, didn't know about Caramel Color. I will be taking my bottle back to Trader Joe's. I hope they have a compliant one I can trade it out with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruddock Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I have used compliant white balsamic vinegar and it is really good! especially in salad dressings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstutesmun Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was looking throughout the store and could not find anything that was close to compliant in the Balsamic Vinegar. Can anyone give me a brand or type that is compliant. I am new to whole 30 and on day 8. Any feedback would be very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are hesitant to give brands, as ingredients can tend to change or vary by region. If you have a Whole Foods near you or grocer that sells organic balsamic vinegar, that would be a place to begin.
