Tina,

An e-mail is no good. You must get a physical letter, on the company's

letterhead, and signed by them to verify ingredients.

An e-mail can be dashed off by anyone -- and most of the time, people who

answer e-mails and phone inquiries don't really know.

It is so EASY to make your own applesauce: wash, peel, core half a dozen

apples. Put them in a heavy saucepan over low heat (I use a double

boiler) and cook until soft. Then whiz it up with a hand-held blender.

Presto, SAFE applesauce with no chance of additives they don't

mention.

Many of the turkey products have other stuff. Get your own hormone free,

additive free turkey and roast it. Slice it. It tastes better, and it's

safe.

The time you spend hunting for legal commercial products can be spent

making your own food, which is safe.

FYI,

Even if you get info from a company about their ingredients, it's

still not considered " SCD approved " and thus is used at one's own

personal discretion. While there are some products for which we have

gotten letters directly from the companies that we feel comfortable

using (organic apple sauce, lemon juice, etc), we only do so when

the hubby is completely normal otherwise and feeling 100 percent.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend using such products during an

introductory phase of the diet or when just starting out, but

that's just me.

Thanks for the tips Marilyn,

Can you recommend a brand of turkey that is additive free?

I get my turkey from a local farmer.

This year's Christmas bird was THIRTY POUNDS! I almost couldn't fit the

darn thing in my oven! We ate really well Christmas day, and we're still

working on That Huge Bird.

Besides needing a hand-written letter, another thing to be aware of is

that the applesauce is likely to be made from raw apples and not

cooked, which can make a difference early in the diet.

So does that mean that you could use the musselman's applesauce for

baking? Then it would be cooked right?
