mazzystarslight Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I know some other flavors are not compliant, and I am almost afraid to ask because they've been a bit of a lifesaver for my W30, but... are the Alexia Oven Fries with Olive Oil, Rosemary, & Garlic compliant? I know that it's better to just eat "whole foods" and make them myself, which I often do, but sometimes it is more convenient to pop them in the oven for 20 minutes. I don't see any issues with the ingredients (listed below), but it would be great for confirmation since I can't figure it out -- usually I can Google "[name of food] Whole30" and find out. If they are, I feel like they are hidden gems.

AliciaN Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'm no expert but I would say they are not compliant due to the dextrose. "Dextrose is the name of a simple sugar that is made from corn and is chemically identical to glucose, or blood sugar. Dextrose is often used in baking products as a sweetener, and can be commonly found in items such as processed foods and corn syrup." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted April 19, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 19, 2020 @AliciaN is correct, dextrose is a name for sugar, so these aren't allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted April 20, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2020 These seem to be awfully close to the line when it comes to 'No commercially prepared french fries'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I thought so! 3 hours ago, SugarcubeOD said: These seem to be awfully close to the line when it comes to 'No commercially prepared french fries'. They're not french fries, they're baked wedges like ones you can make yourself... I made some homemade yesterday but sometimes these are more convenient, they're like the Walmart frozen meals to me -- not ideal but convenient/cheap when I can't/am not in the mood to make everything from scratch!
