Re: Yellow Prussiate of Soda?

Here is what I have been able to find on Yellow Prussiate of Soda:

http://www.pondarama.com/html/salt_fix.html

" One common anti-caking agent is yellow prussiate of soda (sodium

ferrocyanide) When yellow prussiate of soda is exposed to sunlight, it

generates hydrogen cyanide, which is considered highly toxic to fish. "

http://www.progressivebaker.com/products/prembakerssalt.shtm

" Premium Baker's Salt contains water soluble Yellow Prussiate of Soda, which

is added to improve caking resistance in accord with 21CFR 172.490. As an

incidental additive, Yellow Prussiate of Soda is exempt from labeling on

foods containing this salt product (21CFR 101.100(a)(3)). "

The food grade anti-caking agent, Yellow Prussiate of Soda, is added in

accordance with 21CFR 172.490. When this salt is incorporated into a food

product, the additive is considered incidental, non-functional and exempt

from label declaration under 21CFR 101.100(a)(3). Superior TX-10® Salt is

-- Yellow Prussiate of Soda?

I did a search and couldn't find an answer - sorry if this is a

repeat - is " yellow prussiate of soda " (an anti-caking agent) illegal?

I know that other anti-caking agents are not okay, but what about this

one? Thanks!

This sounds like something I certainly would not use. What does the person

require it for?
