Page 112 - Old Country Buffet pickled beets should not be Core.
Page 115 - Old Country Buffet white dinner roll should be 2 POINTS (not 0).

Page 38 - Weight Watchers Smoothie should state made with water instead of made with milk.
WEEKS 2 THROUGH 12:
Week 4 Cooking with the TurnAround program - Regular ground turkey should be checked as a Core food.
Higher Pro/Higher Carb menu guides - All bran-type cereal and ground meat substitute (crumbles) should be checked as Core.
MISCELLANEOUS CLARIFICATIONS:
Game meats are not considered Core foods. They will be reevaluated in the future.
94% fat free kettle corn is not a Core food due to its abuse potential.
The asterisks next to milk products on the Menu Guides indicate that these items count TOWARDS a milk serving, not that they are a milk serving in the portion listed.
Core Foods are NOT 0-POINTS foods. Therefore if a food that is not a Core food is 0-POINTS it does not make it a Core food. A non-Core food such as Cool Whip even if 0 POINTS is counted as part of the weekly POINTS Allowance on the Core Plan. Use the calories, fat, and fiber information to determine the POINTS value for more than one serving.
When using Core ingredients to make recipes, the finished product should be a Core food. For example using cornmeal, eggs, Splenda and fat-free milk to make corn bread or corn muffins is not OK as bread products including muffins, tortillas etc. are not Core foods. Making ice cream from fat-free milk and Splenda is not OK because ice cream is not a Core food.
Sugar-free gum is a Core food. A member may have more than one piece.
Juice made using a juicer is not a Core food (juices of any kind are not Core).
Whole-wheat pasta with the word "enriched" preceding it is still a Core food.
The oils listed are recommended as they are a good source of Vitamin E. Oil capsules or seeds (flaxseeds) cannot be substituted.
For the Flex Plan, members will need to count 2 tsp of the recommended oils as part of their Daily POINTS Target or weekly POINTS Allowance.
Low-carb pastas and pasta made from any grain other than whole wheat are not Core foods.
Flour of any kind is not a Core food, which means that oatmeal and cornmeal ground into flour are not Core.
Fat-free half and half, fat-free Cool Whip and fat-free cream cheese are not Core foods.
Fresh roasted turkey or roast beef cooked at the deli are Core.
Fast food fried chicken can be considered Core if all skin and coating is removed before eating.
Fat-free sugar free (light) yogurts are not Core foods due to their abuse potential.
Bread is not a Core food even if it has 0 POINTS.
