I always want to know about things like this b/c Joel and I are trying to slowly cut out many processed things, especially those with Phenylketonurics and the like. I appreciate you posting it, but I wonder about the current state of rules/regulations and will have to do more research because:

The information posted has the following dates at the bottom:
Issued: 7/25/69
Reissued: 12/3/73, 10/1/80
Revised: 2/1/89

I wonder if someone is trying to drum up some fear or controversy with it. I'll do more research though b/c I certainly don't want to be ingesting ANYTHING like that!!

Well nevermind...the FDA doesn't seem to have new or different guidelines at this time at all.

I think that this is not for balsamic or red wine vinegar, so we should be fine there but I'll check labels when I get home.

JERKS!

Yup. :) I applaud your double checking, though, I would have as well.

Damn! I am I going to have to start making EVERYTHING from scratch? The problem with that is it is not exactly money efficient for MANY things.
