gemzybob Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, I will be starting the whole 30 in a couple of days. Just checked the bacon in my fridge and I think it may be whole 30 compliant but wanted to make sure. It has potassium nitrate and sodium ascorbate which I'm not 100% sure if allowed? (It also has sodium nitrate which I know is allowed) I'm in the UK so struggling to find anything compliant in a packet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Nitrates are fine - you're good to go with this bacon, and pretty much any bacon in the UK so long as you don;t go for maple cured - we're lucky in that way!! What other packaged goods are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemzybob Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Brill thank you. Also struggling to find a veg or chicken stock that doesn't contain sugar? Any ideas? TIA x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, no nearby waitrose though. I did spot this one on Holland and Barrett which was a kallo yeast free veg stock with the following ingredients: Hydrolysed vegetable protein, sea salt, vegetable fat, carrot (3%), tomato (2%), onion (2%), spices (celery, pepper, mace, turmeric, curry powder, paprika), herbs (lovage, parsley), garlic. I have no idea what hydrolysed veg protein is or if it's compliant though? And also vegetable fat if it's allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a decent actual butcher nearby rather than a butcher counter at the supermarket he'll most likely be happy to gift you some bones that you can slow boil along with some veg & make your own....
