Is Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce compliant?
No – it has tons of sugar!
Can my fruit be oranges?
Oranges are fine.
Is sugarfree Sweet Baby Ray barbecue sauce compliant with Whole30?
No artificial sweeteners are allowed either. It’s sweetened somehow. If it uses dates, you’re good to go, but my guess is that it uses something other than fruit for sweetness.
