hjw99 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have noticed many spices have added ingredients such as calcium silicate and silicon dioxide to make it free flowing. Is are these types of ingredients ok for the Whole30 program? What about the spices that I have that don't have the ingredients listed on it? Should I just go ahead and use them or do I need to research every single one? Is there spices that are generally a safe bet to use? Are there some spices that are typically off limits?

laura_juggles Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If they're not listed on the common added cheat sheet as non-compliant and it's not a sneaky sugar, then it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted January 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 19, 2017 We wouldn't recommend using the spices or spice blends that don't have labels on them... save those till after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 19, 2017 Single spices with nothing else in them, like a jar of cinnamon or cumin, don't have to have an ingredient list since the name on the jar is the only ingredient. Some brands do go ahead and put a list, some don't. If it contains anything other than a single spice -- whether it's a blend of spices or a spice plus silicon dioxide-- it should have an ingredients list. In general, spices are okay, unless something non compliant like sugar has been added to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
