Is Natural Sources Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Natural sources in food labeling typically denote ingredients that originate from either animal or plant materials. This term is often used to indicate that the ingredient is not synthetically produced. However, the specific origin is not always disclosed on the label, which can be a concern for those with dietary restrictions. For individuals with alpha-gal syndrome, any ingredient derived from mammals may pose a risk due to the presence of the alpha-gal carbohydrate.
