Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi Sylvia,The only balsamic vinegar that is legal is the "real" stuff and it is very expensive.This is from Elaine's website,It's not that balsamic vinegar is illegal, it's that what you can get in the store isn't really balsamic vinegar and most have sugar added to them so Elaine doesn't allow it. You can make your own legal substitute though see scdrecipeBest wishes,Kim H.husband, , CD 1999, SCD 2002 Is Balsamic vinegar legal? Mine contains sulphites – is that not legal?

Most balsamic vinegar is not real balsamic -- it's fake, with added sugar and stuff. If you can find real balsamic vinegar, with no sugars and things like that, it will be EXPENSIVE, but OK. Otherwise, no, it's not. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've never seen real balsamic vinegar with sulphites, though they are legal. Sulphites give me big problems, gas, D. Many people can eat them and they are legal on the diet. To know if you have real balsamic vinegar hold it up to the light. You should not be able to see any light, it should not be dark brown in the light, it should be black and completely opaque. Usually it says it's from Modena. It's worth seeking out the real thing if you can find it.
