Bethany Lannon Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I just stumbled upon this thread... So canola oil is okay?? Hubs and I were talking about going to Genghis Grill (build-your-own Mongolian BBQ), because we figured I could get meat, spices, and lots of veggies. I called and found out they cooked the dishes in canola oil, so I figured it was out. I'm happy to see that canola is ok (provided I'm reading it all right... When it comes to compliant and non-compliant, I don't want to get it wrong!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It is a seed oil so it should not be something you seek out. It actually is not good stuff, but I think Melissa and Dallas did not put it on the prohibited list because they figure nobody would be able to go out to dinner which would not make W30 very sustainable. I would have it very occasionally and in small quantities if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethany Lannon Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks... I'm going to call back and ask about the possibility of cooking my food in olive oil instead of canola as well. Might be a long shot, but can't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Susan ( and all), the egg product in that bowl has the junk in it. I swear it wasn't there 5 months ago. But the wraps (minus pesto) are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnp13 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The Steak Bowl has wheat starch as the last ingredient, so isn't that non-compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The Steak Bowl has wheat starch as the last ingredient, so isn't that non-compliant? Yes that is correct. If I remember correctly that was recently discovered and pointed out in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Susan ( and all), the egg product in that bowl has the junk in it. I swear it wasn't there 5 months ago. But the wraps (minus pesto) are good. I asked the manager of our local Panera about it because it WASN'T there a few months ago. He said that Panera uses a spray to keep the grilling surfaces non-stick and the spray has wheat starch in it. It'll be on anything that has to be heated (like the steak in the egg bowl) but not the things that are cold (like the steak in the wrap). He was fairly sure they just updated the info to reflect the ingredients even though it's only a trace amount - the spray didn't change. It does make only the lettuce wraps and the turkey salad possible to be Whole30 compliant (with some tweaks). As a side note - you can also order the Strawberry Poppyseed salad with no dressing or mandarin oranges and then sub turkey for the chicken. If they get it right, it's actually pretty good!

Here is the link the website http://mypanera.panerabread.com/articlestips/article/access-into-paneras-hidden-menu/ POWER MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN SALAD All-natural, Antibiotic-free chicken, baby spinach, romaine, tomatoes, apple-wood smoked bacon, diced eggs, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. I think the only concern would be if the apple-wood smoked bacon has sugar in it or not...the chicken, as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
