Can someone help me analyze these ingredients?

[neveryoumindthere]

My dd is reacting to something she ate yesterday. She can't have gluten or dairy. The only new thing I can think of are these turkey slices dh bought. Would someone help me analyze the ingredients?

Turkey, water, potassium lactate, salt, sugar, sodium phospate, hydrolyzed soy protein, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite.
(umm, that's a lot of sodium )

Thanks in advance!

Hydrolyzed anything is basically MSG.

Other ways of disguising MSG is to call it a different name. Common
sources of processed free glutamate (MSG) are:

Monosodium glutamate
Potassium glutamate
Hydrolysed vegetable protein
Hydrolysed protein
Hydrolysed plant protein
Autolyzed yeast
Plant protein extract
Sodium caseinate
Calcium caseinate
Yeast extract
Textured protein
Hydrolysed … anything
Malt extract
Flavouring
Stock
Seasoning
Natural flavouring
Spices

"Hydrolysed vegetable protein" is a concentrated form of natural MSG
that is often used in processed foods instead of MSG. These are
usually sold as “MSG free” or “No Added MSG”.

HPV is made from junk vegetables selected for their high quantity of
excitotoxins. These are boiled in sulphuric acid and the acid is then
neutralised with sodium hydroxide (caustic soda). The brown sludge is
scraped from this, dried and powdered. This powder contains known
carcinogens and dicarboxylic acid, the safety of which is unknown.

MSG may be added to the powder before it is put into our food
including baby food.

And all of the following are artificial preservatives and flavors: sodium phospate, hydrolyzed soy protein, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite. We don't eat any of those chemicals. Check with Dietz and Watson brand Homestyle turkey breast. That is the only commercial deli meat locally that we've found which is additive free.

I *** some of the more "natural" food items to be aware of MSG and free
glutamate!

The US allows "natural flavors" to include protein hydrolysates which
can contain up to 20% MSG by weight. A distinction without a difference.

MSG as a crop spray! "Growth hormones" for produce. Auxigro is used as
a "growth enhancer". http://www.msgtruth.org/cropspra.htm

I avoid anything "lactate" like the potassium lactate, as a possible milk derivative. You can always call the company. Thumann's deli turkey and deli roast beef are gluten/dairy free (and soy, and corn, and a bunch of other things). That's the only deli meat I've found to be safe.

[nalo]

very few deli meats are GF/CF - so I'm sure that's it. applegate farms is a safe brand. pp's have already discussed the bad ingredients here.

[pedi08]

we use plainville farms
WF sells it
