Re: Avoid ascorbic acid and sodium or potassium benzoate combinations

[Guest guest]

Just FYI...hard to know what preservatives are used in ingredients purchased

from wholesalers in making a juice or other product. The law seems pretty lax in

disclosure of ingredients from food manufacturers selling to other food

manufacturers. This is only addressing one solvent, and there are other possible

byproduct combinations not being addressed in the processing of commercial

juice.
