On a somewhat related note, I was shocked to discover yesterday that my

Tropicana 100% Orange Juice with Omega-3 is not vegetarian. The ingredients list

MEG-3 (fish oil and fish gelatin), and it also says " contains tilapia, sardine

and anchovy. " Maybe I was naive to think orange juice should be just that, but

my daughter and I were totally grossed out. I will read the labels of everything

I buy much more carefully from now on.

What I find particularly disturbing about this, is that they can get

away with calling it 100% orange juice when it patently cannot be 100%

orange juice if it also contains fish. I do not believe that they

could get away with that labelling in the UK but I shall be checking

it out the next time I am in the supermarket. On a related note

longer term members will recall that I contacted CocaCola to ask if

their products were suitable for vegetarians and they provided me

with a list of their drinks that contained fish products, comprising

in particular those with a yellow or orange colour. That certainly

was not apparent from the labelling - over here they can get away

with referring to colours and flavourings by E numbers and unless you

carry with you a comprehensive list of these and a magnifying glass

at all times, going shopping can be a nightmare. For this reason I

only buy items that are actually labelled as being suitable for

vegetarians or vegans.

Wow! That's interesting information. I'll try and remember to look for it at

my work Sunday morning. We carry Odewalla and Minute Maid brands of bottled

orange, apple, and cranberry/grape/apple juices and use them along with Ocean

Spray brand orange and grapefruit juices for smoothies and cocktails. I agree

we should look carefully for everything when it comes to ingredients at stores

and restaurants.

It is these types of things that really shock you and make our choices

more difficult! I bought OJ today and never thought to look @ the fine

print. 100% OJ should be just that - except I do not buy the fortified

ones. I think the flavor changes and I guess I know why now. I'm off

to check my OJ.....! Prefer fresh squeezed but sometimes you just have

to have a few conveniences.

without sounding like an idiot again..but where else would omega 3 come from

[Guest guest]

The following foods contain a high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids:

· Walnuts

· Butternuts

· Flaxseed

· Soybean

· Oils (flaxseed, canola, soybean)

I wish we had some of your labeling requirements over here Christie.

Over here they seem determined to tell us less and less about what's

in our food and I find that disturbing and frustrating. But then I

figure it's rather good in a reverse kind of way -- if they don't want

to tell me what's in it, I probably don't want to eat it

 

Peace,
