Q: What does avoiding eating frozen foods have to do with being on Coumadin (warfarin)?
A: Vitamin K is not listed in the Nutrition Facts box on frozen food packages (indeed, it is not on any food). Because of this you can’t know for sure how much Vitamin K you are consuming when eating convenience meals. For this reason I tell my Coumadin patients to avoid eating frozen and other convenience foods. Your doctor may feel differently and you should follow their guidance.
