Re: Canada Safeway

Hi there -

You have to check their spice supplier. Many spices are packaged

with gluten to prevent clumping (learned this on GFCF). If gluten

is below a certain percentage it does not need to be listed on the

package.

I've checked with the spice supplier at our local fancy buthcer (for

their lovely sausage in our GFCF days... we can't eat them now as he

can't handle whole rosemary, peppercorns, etc... so they make them

for us with just ground meat and salt). Safeway shouldn't have a

problem with giving you the phone number.

Sorry, we don't have Safeways in Hamilton, Ontario... this is Loblaw

land (aka Fortino's).

They have oven roasted chicken breast/turkey breast in their deli. I've

enquired about the ingredients and they've ensured that because it's 'oven

roasted' there isn't anything else that goes into it....it's

unprocessed....except some papricka on the skin as well as some salt...therefore

wouldn't this be SCD legal??

That's what Yitz' Deli in Toronto told me and later I found out there were other

ingredients in their oven roasted turkey that made me ill.

Ask them to show you the whole unscliced piece and see what it says on the

package.

I'm leary about the pre-cooked meats at grocery stores. Our son had

been doing very well for days, and then went to our neighbor's and

had some of the Roasted whole chicken from Sobey's, thinking it would

be OK. He came home and blew the roof off the house, with his first

rage in a long time, couldn't focus, was glassy-eyed, etc. The only

other things he had at their house were raw carrots and water. I

phoned Sobey's and they swore the only seasoning they put on the raw

chicken was salt. I then went down to their deli counter, and asked

to see the box the raw, whole chickens come in (I do this at

restaurants because often raw restaurant steaks and chickens arrive

at the restaurant already soaked in something like soy or

seasonings). There were no ingredients listed on Sobey's chicken

box, so we never did get the mystery unraveled, but I will not give

him any precooked meat from the grocery store, because of how he

behaved afterward, that day.
