Fine, if they don't have any problems eating it. Truth in labeling for those of us who suffer.

Okay, so it has no use for me and the many others who have problems with it. There are three different forms of carageenan out there and all can be derived in different ways to be used in our food sources. It is not original to a natural food form unless you eat the seaweed in it's true form to get all of the fiber and…

Yes, thank you.

Yeah, thanks, aren't we all providing our opinions without having to note it? LOL

Thank you, that is all I ask, to know what is in the product. If it is truly natural, and not derived of something to get something else, just so they can plump it up, or make it a thicker consistency, well then I'm game. Carageenan may come from red seaweed, but it is no longer a complete food when they separate it from…

Consumers can not make the distinction as to what is in the food if it is not labeled properly. We will have to disagree about banning carageenan, there is no true use for it. It's useless and provides nothing to benefit the human body.

Yes, thank you, I have asked before and there are just not enough HEB's around me that will carry the product, so they will only order it if they have multiple requests. I have a few times asked and been told it wasn't on the warehouse list so they won't order that specific item at all. I try for sure though, sometimes I…

South Texas, San Pat County, Ingleside. If you are doing a search please know that a website might say a store near me carries the product. Only the actual store near me doesn't really carry it, like Walmart or HEB, the only two grocery stores I have near me, unless I want to drive into the big town called Corpus Christi,…

LOL, yeah the problems with rural america.

I believe that to be a case for a lot of people who avoid milk.

Yes, thank you, it's not available in my area. The only one I can get without carageenan is Central Market "Organics" Brand. I'm rural so there aren't a lot of choices for me out here. I don't even have a Central Market here in my area but my local HEB carries it, the brand is their own offshoot from HEB. Unfortunately a…

Exactly, for me it was the intense immediate pain after drinking milk. I also stopped using coffemate in my coffee because it caused me problems as soon as I took a sip of coffee. I was on the email list for coupons and unsubscribed, when they asked why I was unsubscribing I told them their ingredient list was nothing but…

Agreed in full, there is a problem with this for me though. I am in rural america, so a whole plethora of products are not available to me without the additive, and those products that don't list it make me sick, and I have to personally call the company and ask them what is in the product. I shouldn't have to do that, I…

Thank God they are relenting to public pressure, after all there is only one milk I can buy at the grocery store because theirs at the moment has carageenan in it. The proof for me is that there are enough people with problems regarding it, that they are listening to consumers. After all, they lose my purchase every week…

Yes, I read the PDF, and yes I understand what it says. The point I am trying to make here, is that proper labeling is not occurring regarding this additive that cause myself and many others problems. This is what the FDA is wanting our input on. Proper labeling, what does it mean to you? To me it means I need to know that…

I would not doubt our children are eating these hidden additives, we just have lost control of our food and have only our voices to make changes.

I know, it's ridiculous, on the other hand Horizon products will be removing carageenan from their products by the end of 2016. Some here in 2015. I'll look for that info.

LOL

Of course not!

Thanks, I learn something new everyday!

I'm not here to argue with you, if you aren't interested then just get off the thread? This is for those who have interest in carageenan and it doesn't matter to me that you are so focused on peers regarding it. I will say once more, I have a horrible problem with carageen as do many many others out there. We need help in…

OK, I get what you are saying. I also get what happens to me and how it took me years to figure out why I was in so much pain. I have a friend who had IBS all of her life, now she is free of it because she has done very well to get carageenan out of her diet, of course some sneaks in because it isn't labeled properly.…

Carageenan is used as a thickener, and it keeps products from separating. Why can't we just go back to the label saying, "Shake well before use? That would take the carageenan completely out of the dairy products.

Yes, and I can't ever remember having a problem with chicken holding color and shape, even when fresh off the farm and put in the freezer to use later. It stumps me as to why they are adding it to the chicken, does not make any sense at all.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1242073/pdf/ehp0109-000983.pdf Above is a PDF of different studies made on carageenan and the effects caused by it. Peer reviewed studies are not out there that I can find, and why would they be? The FDA claims that there is no problem using the additive, why would anyone do a…

Please read the studies regarding it, the links are there in the article, I posted for everyone's benefit to learn and do your own research if you are interested. I have provided links for you to begin the descending down the whirlpool if you choose to do so. There are links from the Dr's. regarding studies on carageenan…

Read the one's on the Dr.s

There is no fear mongering here, this is simple information for you and everyone else to research on your own should you choose to. You say additives are bad and cause cancer; hence, you should not eat them. Well how can you not eat them if they are not labeled properly. Especially for those of us whom have problems with…

At least they label it, Country Post brand doesn't.
