About Paleo

A dietary rule system with published guidelines that classify foods and ingredients, distinguishing between whole-food and processed or agricultural categories including grains, legumes, dairy, and refined sugars.

This reference indexes foods and ingredients against those published rules. Each entry reflects the classification documented in standard Paleo guidelines at the category or ingredient level.

Classification Key

Limited
Compliance depends on product-specific conditions such as ingredient composition, variety, or preparation method. The individual article specifies the conditions.
Not Allowed
The food or ingredient is classified as non-compliant under published Paleo guidelines.
