Its IMPOSSIBLE to find cold cuts without sugar!

[journey00]

I want to eat for breakfast, or for anytime, slices of ham or turkey with cream cheese in the middle. This would be quick & easy & help me stay on track. I have looked at Oscar Mayer, etc & EVERYTHING has dextrose or modified corn starch or corn syrup. I have even looked at the whole hams in the meat section & they are all injected with something I can't eat. Does anyone have a name brand? What kind of turkey or ham slices do you buy? Thanks

I have found their mesquite turkey to be low sodium, no sugar. But the store I buy it at has been out of it since before Thanksgiving!

Don't know if the "natural smoke flavor" has any sugar, but it is the 5th and last ingredient.

You can make your own sliced meat ... from a roast or a real turkey.

I can't get boarshead here!

I sometimes put a hunk of meat into the slowcooker with a few spices and a little water and hey presto, in the evening I have a cooked joint that (once cold) supplies lots of slices of meat for rollups!

I've tried looking to but can never find anything. One of my favorites is tuna, may rolled in romaine lettuce leaves.

What about the turkey that you would have sliced at the deli? I guess it's the same thing. I'm not for sure so I never ate any. I think Elizellen has a great idea...I'm gonna try that.

Oh, that's a bummer!

check your grocery store's high end deli meats they slice. Usually they are competing with BoarsHead so they have less junk in them. Many of the Kroger private selection match up will with Boarshead for ingredients.

How often do you have tuna?

Are you worried about mercury contamination?

Re: Its IMPOSSIBLE to find cold cuts without sugar!

LOL We don't have a Kroger here either. We do have a Super Walmart, Safeway, and Fred Meyers so I will recheck them at the deli counters. Typically, I do like Elizellen and cook up meat to use later...My freezer is full of that sort of thing. But it would be nice to be able to buy already sliced ones.

I had the same issue. I asked the deli counter service folks for a deli meat w/o sugar, corn syrup, or dextrose (like you) and nearly everything has crud in it. I did find:

Wilson brand "black forest ham'

Foster Farms brand 'hickory smoked white turkey'

I looked through the nutrition data (big fat book) that the deli-counter showed me, and both of these meats had none of the surar, dextrose (or any 'ose' stuff), or corn syrup in it.

I like the ham the best, by far. The turkey is only so-so...

I found them at a place called "WinCo" (low price big-box grocery store).

Good luck.

the high end safeway stuff is sugar free too cause I checked it when we were in CA last yr. skip the honey or maple this or that and just go for the basic flavors.

Hey atkinsgal....I only have it once or MAYBE twice a week. That's probably why I love it so much because I know I shouldn't eat it everyday.

Re: Its IMPOSSIBLE to find cold cuts without sugar!

Great thanks! I will look for those products and also check out Safeway's high end stuff!
