I could use somebodies help.
I picked up some Solis reduced carb Cali-wraps at Costco today and the package doesn't state the net carbs per wrap.
They are the large 75g size
The information on the package reads: Carbs 16g
Dietary Fibre 7.1g
Sucralose 6 mg

I think they are 8.9g but need some confirmation.

"reduced carb" does not mean Low Carb - that is the reality of purchasing products at the big box stores - they don't necessarily sell Low Carb consistently.

Alot of products can be "reduced carb" by omitting a few things, or adding some fibre - but still have many carbs. Speciality Low Carb stores, would not carry "reduced carb" products, unless they were low carb enough.

I have not heard of sucralose in wraps - the ones I buy (total carbs 7, net carbs 4 after deducting 3 grams fibre) don't require sweetener.

Any other opinions on this particular brand? I don't see it in Toronto.

Thanks for the confirmation Matt and the info Steph Z.

I live in Northern Ontario and was down visiting the St. Catharines area this weekend. That's were I picked up these wraps. I debated over buying them for a few minutes because of the sucralose but with options being so expensive and limited up here I decided to give them a go. I didn't have my book with me but once home I quickly checked and sucrolose is on the "good" list so I felt a little better. The Costco in St Catharines also had low carb (5g net carbs) pita pockets which I had never yet seen up here so I couldn't resist them either.

Anyway, once again thank you both for the help.

Nasti wow you are doing great - on your weight loss quest.

Watch those pita pockets - I understand a serving is 1/2 the pita pocket. You sound like you don't have to watch those carbs too much anymore - Congrats!!!

I picked these up at Giant Tiger here in St Catharines. :thup: I love 'em. They're indistinguishable from the Subway wraps... I assume they're made by the same company.

I guess the company is new, because their website (http://www.tacorio.com) isn't even set up yet.
