msmirnio Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Folks, What's the consensus on packaged foods that have the perfectly compliant ingredient list until *dun dun dun!!* you see "Contains less than 2% of the following...." and proceeds to list "cane sugar" "deroxide-foxide-ix" "soy lechitan" etc... Ahem...many Applegate products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb0426 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I would say they are a no go. Put it this way: If you were to look at all of the food you were to eat over 30 days, 90 meals. 2% would mean that 1.8 meals could be totally non-compliant. Just me, but I say that is not doing a WHOLE30. That is a 98% partial 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted November 28, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2012 Nope. There is no wiggle room with the Whole30. Besides, there is a wonderful menu of foods you can eat. Take a pass on the compromised foods and choose the 100 percent good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If It's 2% whatever by weight and that product may be 80% water by weight...so it very well may be 10% of that ingredient discarding the water.... Labels can be very misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akikaki Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I got a can of 100% natural HUNTS Diced Basil garlic and oregano 14.5 iz I want to use half a can in the frying pan at two eggs on top of it and have myself a nice omelette Ingredients diced tomatoes, tomato juice, less than 2% of: sugar, salt, citric acid, calcium chloride, spices, basil, oregano, dried parsley, natural flavored, garlic powder. I got these cans because they are healthy and I will use them if possible I want to know if people out there think it's a real bad option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akikaki Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Btw, it's tomato cubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsie95 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I think this would be no. Sugar is listed in the ingredients. That it is a small amount doesn't matter as far as the rules are concerned sugar is sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akikaki Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I did check the ingredients, which say date, plus one or two stuff, But then the wrapper says 150 calories. : ( is there a calorie limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no calorie limit on Whole30 however you need to 1) make sure that the ingredients are all compliant and 2) only be using any sort of bar as emergency rations. They should not be consumed daily - dried fruits and nut, especially in this bar form are extremely candy-like on Whole30 and are very easy to overdo.
