Betrayed and Bewildered

Welcome to reading labels 101.. What they mean is the lemon juice they use is 100% lemons.. There are many many products out there that do similar deceptive marketing. Orange Juice does the same..

Where is this? Neither the EPA "list of lists" nor 40 CFR 355 show anything (as either sodium metabisulfite or sodium pyrosulfite) and the only references in the CFR are in title 21 (FDA - considered safe).

Type "sodium metabisulfite" into google, and, as always, you will get a couple sentences featured from a random site. This one comes from nj.gov.

Here is the entire blurb Google gives:

Sodium Metabisulfite is a white powder with a light odor of rotten eggs. It is used as a preservative in pharmaceuticals and foods. REASON FOR CITATION. * Sodium Metabisulfite is on the Hazardous Substance List because it is cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH and IARC.​

Maybe your definitions of "real", "lemon", "juice", "100%"… are just like, your opinion, man

Yep..... especially when listening to Credence in a beach community where the rug really brings the room together...

Who buys lemon juice in a plastic bottle?

You should immediately sue the guy who put the new lens in for not telling you that some products contain “small print” obvious malpractice!

Believe it or not we now have Costco in NZ now (yes, we are 50 years behind). Wife bought some "natural vanilla extract". Same deal, it appears that very little of the product is actual vanilla extract. We are not health freaks, but the labelling is misleading. Of course, it's not limited to Costco.

That's Vanilla syrup ....


The "Pure Vanilla Extract" that I get from Costco here is: "Pure Vanilla Extractitives in Water, Alchohol (35%)" - OK stuff.

Unfortunately, the company was sold from my Cousin's family, but they used to give us real top-shelf extract. Amazing seeing it come in as meter-cube crates of vanilla beans. HEAVENLY scent!

Maybe it’s only known to the state of New Jersey…….
