In reply to Vicky. Hi Vicky, Thanks for your message. You can certainly use ground beef or pork in this particular recipe. Regular wheat pasta can also be easily substituted. I hope that helps!

As I saw you don't have 'Bird' as a allergic food. I cannot eat any more bird meats as of 35 years ago. My doctor says it's the protein in the meats. So what happens to me, I blow up in my stomach area and have very bad pains. This also includes chicken broth in any sauces. I have to read the label very carefully. As I am also allergic to shrimp and salmon, but not lobster or crab. No dairy at all. I do see that a2 is a new non-dairy milk, but I'm not going to purchase a full 1/2 gallon to see if I like it. I wish they sold pints. I have to substitute the meat to 93-95% hamburger or mild pork. I can eat regular pasta.

In reply to Sharon. Hi Sharon, I use a lot of Jenni-o ground turkey which is free of dairy and soy but I don't have any other specific recommendations. You are right, meats are regulated by the USDA and are not required to list allergens in plain English as is required by the FDA under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act. With that said, all ingredients do need to be listed on the ingredient list. For example, if meat has sodium caseinate it won't say "contains milk" on the label (as with FALCPA) but knowing the ingredient is a milk derivative tells you to avoid that product. Your question is a good reminder that even meats can sometimes have hidden ingredients and reading labels carefully every time to catch those ingredients is very important! Thanks for your question!

Do you have any recommendations for meat brands that are soy free and dairy free? I've had a really hard time with hidden soy in meats, and they don't have the same disclosure requirements as the FDA!
