Important HINTS:
Western Family Baking Soda is neutral. Other brands may contain potato.
Ground cloves usually contain fruit. Whole clove is neutral.
If using bottled vanilla, look to see what solution it is in. If in alcohol, then it will most likely evaluate positive for grain. If in glycerin, then it is either fruit or meat.
It is suggested to use Celtic salt in all recipes, as it is neutral.
Yeast is coded "P or S" - Refer to The Food Resource List for the different yeasts and what they analyzed positive for.
Do not be afraid to use a recipe just because it may contain your food intolerance. All you need to do is to refer to The FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST for alternatives.
Our goal is to help you become familiar with various ingredients so that you may be able to easily adapt recipes to fit your needs.
