nenoonea Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I bought a tub of unsalted cashews at Costco and have been eating them for about a week. This evening I casually turned the tub around while eating a few and saw that the ingredients list includes cashews and PEANUT OIL. What the hell? Who checks the ingredients list on plain cashews?! I am on Day 17 and doing really great. Do I have to start over now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 25, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2016 Check out this article and decide for yourself. I will say, peanuts are pretty serious and many people find they do have reactions to them when they do reintroductions, so at the very, very least, you need to make sure you go 30 days without them before reintroducing them again. This is also why we spend a lot of time on the forum stressing how very, very important it is to read labels and ask about ingredients when you're out -- there are all kinds of things that show up in foods that you'd never expect to be there, from soy in tea, to peanut oil in all kinds of nuts, to sugar in pretty much everything.

nenoonea Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks, Shannon. I think I will keep going, and just tack on an extra week for peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedAllTheFries Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I've learned to read labels on literally EVERYTHING for reasons like this. The extra stuff that you wouldn't expect would be added to food makes me so annoyed sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshStartMomma Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I was really upset to learn that most, nearly 100%, of the cashews I've seen in stores have peanut oil in them. Did me, buying the raw cashews was not in the budget, so, I gave them up for my Whole30. But, I can still eat pecans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickiH. Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 It is shocking to find out how much other "stuff" is in things that you wouldn't have expected! Probalby more expensive than costco, but Trader Joe's has a lot of dry roasted nuts, so there's nothing else other than salt if you want it. Good luck! I'm on day 15 . . . furthest I've made it in a bout 4 tries so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholehearted90 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I've noticed that lots of cooked chicken has sugar in it - and I even found one the other day that contained milk! What?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
