Yes. Its more than important for anyone with serious food allergies to read labels. Lucky are those who have no allergies. I'm lucky in that way.
Food labelling: gluten free, organic etc.

They are much more careful in Europe when it comes to food allergies, everywhere I go they ask if I’m allergic to anything.
I buy those seedless ones a lot. They’re my preferred lemon most days.Pretty similar to reg N.AZ prices by the piece. I almost always buy bags.

my body has tried that multiple times.
- at birth (PICU etc)
- asthma attack at school when I decided I wanted to do the cross country run (fed up of being excluded)
- asthma attack in my early 20's when the microwave decided to melt down and catch fire with me next to it - toxic fumes followed by November cold air did not mix well
- found out the hardway my body no longer tolerates dairy protein at all.....
- double pnemonia and 12 days in ICU (6 on respirator)
- cervial spine collapsed - lost the use of my arms... (double fusion)
- hospital medication issues - anaphylactic shock in hospital
- hospital food isses - someone marked lactose-free icecream as dairy free sorbet on my tray
plus the really serious attempt my body had at killing me with double pnuemonia and the cervial spine collapsing above the breathing reflex point...
Yeah - I am on borrowed time!

Thanks. At my age it makes little sense to worry. The best approach is to live well whatever life is left.

I understand. I'm free of allergies except for a strong one I have for politicians.

There's two of us, although I may have a medical condition when I see/hear a politician.

A question.
We have like you raspberry canes. We do not spray with anything.
Wife only. Uses sheep manure. Being from a sheep is the fruit still organic????
I think we've touched on it before but I dont remember the outcome '???
Or even vegan. The jam.i make has only fruit and sugar.
Your thoughts please

no. neither the land nor the sheep manure is organic.
Jam with fruit, pectin, and sugar is vegan if the sugar has not been bleached white using animal bone char. Bone char - Wikipedia

I know in Australia, it is outlawed, so it may well be in NZ as well.
I do know of people who use butter as an antifoaming agent in making jam (my Grannie for one) which stopped jam from frothing and boiling over. Obviously, that means it is no longer vegan.

I thought manure was allowed in organic farming? I don't know if the produce could still be labelled vegan though.
Can Organic Farms Use Manure?

I believe this because I consider myself growing organically, I don’t spray, but I do use manure.
