Re: Its IMPOSSIBLE to find cold cuts without sugar!

I just found a turkey lunchmeat that doesn't have sugar in it!!! I got it at Walmart (after much digging) and surprise surprise...It's Oscar Mayer!!! It's called Oscar Mayer Natural and the only ingredients it has is the turkey, water, sea salt, potato starch, cultured celery juice. Thats it!!! I can't even find the stupid thing online to show you and the one I did find had different ingredients and the package looked different, but it was called the same thing...weirder and weirder!
But the trouble was I spent 15 minutes with the deli counter person reading labels of meats in their window! Nothing, and I mean nothing, had zero sugar...they all had like dextrose, etc!! arghhh!

Hi!

I usually go to Meijer for lunchmeat and always grab a pound of oven roasted chicken and swiss cheese. I had the lady who was slicing the meat check the nutrition information and there was no added sugar. The two are great rolled up into Romaine Lettuce with a slice of bacon.

Next time you're there, ask to see the nutritional information ... don't forget that sugar goes by many names.
