A very large effort was made to make the Low Protein Food List for PKU as error-free as possible. But there are over 20,000 numbers in the book, so a small bit of human error is inevitable. If you find any additional errors or changes, please write to: Virginia Schuett, National PKU News, 6869 Woodlawn Ave. NE #116, Seattle, WA 98115-5469 or send e-mail to: schuett@pkunews.org.

Most of these changes are necessary only for the first printing of the book, although some apply to the second printing also. Please make the following changes in your book (only changes are noted for the items listed):
| Page | Item | Change |
|---|---|---|
| p. 34 & 94-95 | Kraft Ranch and Honey Dijon salad dressings | Are not "free." |
| p. 34 & 94-95 | Girard's Champagne | Is not "free" but Original is "free" (not previously listed). |
| p. 34 & 94-95 | Knott's Berry Farm Honey Mustard | Is not "free." Phe content is unavailable for dressings that are not "free." |
| p. 34 & 95 | Wishbone Creamy Italian Salad Dressing | Is not "free." Phe content is unknown. |
| p. 35 & 123 | Swiss Miss Juicy Gels | Should be Hunt's Juicy Gels, not Swiss Miss |
| p. 51 | Strawberries, frozen, whole, unsweetened | 80 gm, 0.08 mg phe/gm food |
| p. 51 | Strawberries, frozen, sliced, sweetened | 6 mg phe, 0.4 exch, 0.04 mg phe/gm food, 0.4 gm pro |
| p. 53 | Ore-Ida Corn on the Cob (weight is for kernals only) | 124 gm, 175 mg phe, 11.6 exch., 1.41 mg phe/gm food, 3.8 gm pro, 140 calories |

| Note: The only way you can be really accurate in calculating phe from any corn cob, fresh or frozen, is by weighing it on your gram scale before and after eating, then multiplying the difference by the mg phe/gm food value of 1.22. Even with standardized packaging of frozen ears, there is variability in the weight and amount of corn found on a cob, and people vary in the way they eat corn, causing variability in the amount eaten. | ||
