Mattyc23 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am planning a whole 30 either October or November of this year. I was originally planning for October but I’ve come down with a case of pneumonia. I really want to be focused and energetic when I go into my whole 30 so I may put it off for another month, despite having a lot of the preparations ready. My question however is about the 0 g of sugar On packaged meats. Does the fact that it says sugar at all even if it’s 0 g mean that there is residual or added sugar? I just finished a refresher on the whole 30 book and it said no packaged meat If it says 0 g of sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted September 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2017 You need to actually read the ingredients. The nutrition info can say 0 grams even if there is added sugar, and it can say more than 0 even when there is no added sugar in some products. If there is sugar listed in the ingredients at all, even if it says "contains less than 2%" or something like that, it is not allowed. If there is no sugar (or other off-plan ingredients) then it is okay. Check the Sneaky Sugars List and the Common Additives Cheat Sheet for some other ingredients you might encounter -- you can download both here: https://whole30.com/pdf-downloads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyc23 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ok, gotcha thanks for the clarification! I have a couple frozen ground beef and pork packages that I’ll need to use up before whole 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
