Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve added the turkey info to this post.

Yeah, cornstarch in tea is crazy. I’m guessing that it either hides some deficiency in the tea, aids in the processing/packaging chain or perhaps adds a “desirable mouth feel”.

Almost all are injected with a “broth” which always contains some type of sugar. You have to read labels on EVERYTHING! I even found a box of white tea in bags that has corn starch added! Why on earth would you need to add corn starch to tea?

Anyway, word of caution when you are trying to find a turkey.

Thanks for the info. When I started the diet, my first impulse was to think that “natural” was a good thing. Of course, I eventually learned this wasn’t always the case.

My local Trader Joe’s sells two varieties of ground turkey with natural flavors. One on variety, they tell you that the natural flavors are rosemary in canola oil.

Even some butter contains these “natural flavors”, which are often monosodium glutamate in disguise. Cheese is another one which contains “natural flavors” too. Thanks for alerting us about the chicken being injected with broth.
