Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 There are no legal juice boxes. Dole makes small cans of 100% pineapple juice, but they would need to be diluted somehow. I have a rubbermaid plastic reusable juice box and a cool sippy cup we got at the aquarium. I fill it with diluted pineapple juice or lemon/limeade for Sam and he's fine with that. If you can, you could bring a big can of pineapple juice and a bottle of seltzer water and have pineapple " soda " for everyone in the class, if you're worried about her feeling different than everyone else. Sometimes it's nice for our kids to have the same thing as everyone else in those situations. Chrystee > Does anyone know of any legal juice boxes?

Carol, We have bought Tropicanna 100% Orange Juice in little, mini, one serving cartons. Are these not legal? We found them at our grocery store, next to the large cartons of 100% Tropicanna Orange Juice (I believe they come in packages of six, with straws!).

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 OK...gotta ask. Is it the packaging or what is in the juice box itself? We use RW Knudsen Family, organic pear juice. The bottle ingredients are: Juice from ripe whole organic pears, ascorbic acid (to maintain color) unsweetened. The box ingredients are: Filtered water (sufficient to reconstitute), organic pear juice concentrate, natural flavor, ascorbic acid (vitamin c) Now that I compared the bottle seems better than the box. Can someone please chime in? I guess he will have to just drink water for both lunch and snack at school instead of a juice box. I'm not into the plastic cups ..Poor guy. TIA, Marla P.S. I hate school party's, why does everything revolve around food? Does anyone know of any legal juice boxes? My daughter's class is having a party with Juice boxes.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Marla, You can get the Tropicana Orange juice in single serving cartons in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Knudsen pear juice is not SCD legal. So.... neither the bottles or the boxes are okay in this case. Their " Just Juice " line is...... but the pear is not one of them. There were some posts a long time ago on the list, explaining about the concentrated sorbitol in apple and pear juices (commercially bottled/canned). They're somewhere deep in the vaults of my old computer's harddrive, though...... so maybe someone else could post them? (Pull-eeeeze?) It's fine to juice your own pears and apples at home, though...... then you can easily stay organic. Patti, mom to Katera, SCD 17 months Re: Legal juice boxes?? OK...gotta ask.

" natural flavor " is always suspect too. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the whole family to get started after Haloween and give it until Christmas and review. I have been going around the house trying to figure out what I have that he can eat. It looks like not much. We have lots of rice and corn things for him. I do need to order my flour soon to get baking the 'bribes' for the dinner table. I am going to have to get my head out of the only pears for yeast kinda thing and see where this takes us. I'll look into the just juice. Thanks again, Marla > Knudsen pear juice is not SCD legal.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi Marla, I don't think any of the legal juices are organic, but there is the option of juicing your own with organic fruit or veggies. For example, there is a version of apple juice on the recipe section that could be followed with pears to make pear juice, with or without the extras - spices, oj etc. That recipe doesn't require a juicer. Look under " Homemade Mulled Apple Juice " at http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html in the Drinks section. Sheila 44 mos SCD, 20 yrs UC mom of SCD 29 mos > > I am sure he would.

May I ask why not the calcium version? There is a Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Tangerine juice and it has calcium and vitamin D. Would like to try it.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Sheila..... I think Elaine did OK the " Just Juice " line from Knudsen..... for the ASD kids only. These might not be " officially " SCD legal, as far as the wider SCD community.... but I know she did state this, way back when on the old Lyris list, or pecanbread. I think most, if not all, of these are organic...... not sure. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know so I can stop recommending them. Patti Re: Legal juice boxes??

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Marla...... <<Thank you so much...what a kick in the gut...ouch..hee, hee!>> Oooohhh.... sorry 'bout that. <<I do need to order my flour soon to get baking the 'bribes' for the dinner table.>> Ahhh..... you've gotta try the peanut butter brownies. They are DIVINE! Here's the recipe: 1 cup peanut butter (natural, nothing but salt added) 1/2 cup honey I egg 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Mix well..... pour into a greased 8 x 8 square pan (I use glass... not sure if you have to). I also grease mine with a bit of coconut oil on a paper towell.... but you could do the same with butter or some other oil. The actual recipe says bake at 350 degrees F..... but I set my oven a bit lower (335 or 340) because the nut butter or flour recipes do tend to burn a little easily and it just depends on your oven, so you may need to experiment. The total baking time is 25 minutes. I take them out at 15 minutes and put strips of foil over the edges (just to sheild the area that's about 1.5 inches out from the edge of the pan) to protect them from getting too overly brown for that last ten minutes. Your whole family will LOVE these..... and they are just SO easy. Patti Re: Legal juice boxes?? Patti, I want the whole family to get started after Haloween and give it until Christmas and review.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Marla, Try making the peanut butter squash brownies. It's a great way to hide a veggie. And they taste soooo good. (Do squeeze the liquid out of the squash though or they will end up too gooey in the middle from too much liquid in the recipe.) I had to freeze the four that were left the other day to prevent the whole pan from being gone in day.

The only Tropicana version that Elaine has checked out is the Original Pure Premium Orange juice (No Pulp, Pulp, Lots of Pulp). The calcium version is a new product. Elaine is concerned that there may be other things added. Tropicana has been bought by Pepsi and she is concerned that newer products may be tampered with.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hi Patti, You are right about the " Just Juices " . Ha, that's what happens with sleep deprivation. Are any of the Just Juices organic? Hang on I'll check it out Oh lookie, there are two organic " Just Juices " , The Just Juices line includes: " Just " Juices: >Just Black Cherry >Just Blueberry >Just Cranberry >Just Pomegranate >Organic Just Concord Grape >Organic Just Tart Cherry My local store only carries the JJ Cranberry and I hardly use it so I often forget about them. Thanks for the reminder. Just an FYI for newbies, it is only the Knudsen's Just Juice line that is legal, the rest of Knudsen's is out. Sheila > Sheila.....

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I am not sure how often these questions come up but maybe putting a list in the files would help and as thing get approved they can then be added?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 > > > > Hi Patti, You are right about the " Just Juices " . Ha, that's what > happens with sleep deprivation. Some juice information is already listed prominently on the bottom of page 77 in BTVC and the Fopd preparation link on the Pecanbread web site. Is this what you wanted added to the files marla Jo?: 1. The 2% rule: There is a rule that allows some ingredients that constitute less than 2% of the total weight or volume unnecessary to report on the ingredient list. This can include sugar and other illegal ingredients, since these do not fall under the list of usual allergens. 2. Store-bought products often pass through many sets of hands before they are put in the final package. For example, some juice concentrates can be made in one plant and then shipped to another plant where water is added and then they are bottled. The final producer can " honestly " say they did not add any illegals but what about the first producer of the concentrate. The original concentrate does not even have to be made in the same country as the final bottler. 3. Commercial producers are not bound to report some of the ingredients listed in their foods. They can use processing aides, enzymes etc., that are used in the production of the food but are not technically an ingredient. Carol F.
