Racconto Cauliflower Gnocchi

What’s wrong with this label? At first glance I think it’s gluten-free, since many companies now make gluten-free pastas using cauliflower but they also use egg in the formula, this gnocchi had no egg. Thinking further I think it’s made of all cauliflower. I just got done ricing cauliflower to use in recipes where normallyContinueContinue reading “Racconto Cauliflower Gnocchi”

Food Wars Are On The Horizon

Labeling Food Destined For Restaurants The Legislative branch of the USA government thinks they’re helping small businesses by not requiring ingredient labeling on packaged foods destined for restaurants, claiming that labeling will increase the cost of the foods, thus hurt small businesses, when actually they’re helping the large corporations who manufacture those products.  Small businessesContinueContinue reading “Food Wars Are On The Horizon”

Why Almost Identical – Sour Cream, Cream Cheese?

TOFUTTI FUDGING THEIR LABELS? Companies will most assuredly cite pandemic reasons for putting cream cheese into their sour cream containers or vice versa. Or, maybe they altered the recipe itself, bringing the two closer together in texture, viscosity, mouth feel and flavor. Or they didn’t have enough sour cream, so decided to sell cream cheeseContinueContinue reading “Why Almost Identical – Sour Cream, Cream Cheese?”

Alcohol-Free vs Non-Alcoholic

non-alcoholic beer vs alcohol-free beer Who decided on non-alcoholic instead of alcohol-free? Who decided what to call it, how to reference it? Those who say general consensus or the street or one unidentified person and it just caught on, is usually the source. The Brits are known for altering culture by language, then giving eitherContinueContinue reading “Alcohol-Free vs Non-Alcoholic”

Vaccines In The Animals You Eat

Don’t you think you have the right to know what vaccines they are? Or maybe that right to know what’s in what you’re buying and eating has been wiped out by some law allowing ranchers to keep you unaware. Then, who wrote and passed those laws unbeknownst to the consumer? Demand total transparency. How manyContinueContinue reading “Vaccines In The Animals You Eat”

BIRDSEYE STEAMFRESH VEGETABLES aka my frozen pea adventure

At my local grocery these are the bags usually on sale, so I usually buy them. Although they’re made for microwaving, I’ve never done that, even though I have a microwave. I bring them to boil in water to cover, drain and use. I’m a big fan of frozen vegetables. Not the ones in sauces,ContinueContinue reading “BIRDSEYE STEAMFRESH VEGETABLES aka my frozen pea adventure”

Contains No Animal Products

The word PRODUCT. There are many definitions and uses for the word ‘product’. Most manufacturers at this time are not going to put on their labels ‘contains no animals’. But that’s what I’m working toward. Right now the goal is ‘contains no animal products’. It’s straight forward in a language people understand. No matter theContinueContinue reading “Contains No Animal Products”

Labels + Current Diet Categories

Hardly anyone knows what vegan is even today nearly 40 years later. They’ve become familiar with the word, but not the meaning. They don’t get why vegans won’t eat a vegetarian burger made with egg whites, or that fish and chicken are animals. And what’s wrong with cheese? That’s not an animal. Well, real vegansContinueContinue reading “Labels + Current Diet Categories”

The Plant-Based Pitfall

The current trend in labeling a manufactured food, that CONTAINS NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS (CNAP), is to label it PLANT-BASED rather than VEGAN, or ANIMAL-FREE. Some worry about the negativity associated with animal rights groups, so veer from the usage of the word vegan on their product even though it might be vegan. Remember now thatContinueContinue reading “The Plant-Based Pitfall”

Force-Feeding Labels

The reason why food companies and manufacturers won’t tell you what’s under the natural flavoring label is because it’s bad news. They want to trick you into eating animals, even if it’s a rat hair, which by the way, appears in most products along with mites and a lot of other microscopic stuff that evenContinueContinue reading “Force-Feeding Labels”

Ingredient LABELING

You think you’re too big to fail. You think you don’t have to tell the customer what’s in the food product they’re buying with your company name on it? Because it’s made far away, you lost control of what goes in or gets left out or gets substituted? You present a long list of “Maybes”.ContinueContinue reading “Ingredient LABELING”

The FDA Delays Deadline For New Nutrition Labels 

FFC COMMENT: Since science has proven that eating animals causes a myriad of diseases and disorders all food containers need to state CONTAINS ANIMAL PRODUCTS (what animal) or CONTAINS NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS. Remember that new nutrition label that was going to help you lose weight and eat healthier? Turns out, we may have to kissContinueContinue reading “The FDA Delays Deadline For New Nutrition Labels “

WHAT CONSTITUTES ANIMAL-FREE TO ME

 ANIMAL-FREE VEGAN COMPANIES ARE STILL IN THEIR BIRTHING STAGE What this means is that for many companies to get up and running they need to use the factories that other companies use to manufacture their goods that do contain animal products. They basically rent out the facilities, thus the common labeling of possible and/or tracesContinueContinue reading “WHAT CONSTITUTES ANIMAL-FREE TO ME”
