Triman832 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 We are fairly clean eaters but wanted to do the Whole30 after doing some research. We are on day 2 and doing good so far. We bought some chicken breakfast sausage from Trader Joe's with zero sugar but it lists dextrose as an ingredient which I know is on the list of "banned substances". So what gives? Yes or no, and if no, what is the science behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2017 No. The rules state, no added sugar or sweetener. If there's dextrose in the ingredients, they've added it, so even if they've managed to keep the amount to a small enough fraction of a gram per serving that they can legally say it's 0 grams, there is sugar in there. For whole30 purposes, the ingredients list is the part to pay attention to, not the breakdown of nutrition information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
