Many folk have a very valid concern re aluminium toxicity in Bicarb products. Research leads us
to reason aluminium toxicity may be a genuine concern in some 'baking powders', but not a concern in 'baking sodas'
- another name for Bicarb of Soda. Baking powders are a combination of an alkali, Bicarb of soda, and an acidifying
agent, which in good baking powders is 'cream of tartar' but may be replaced with cheaper acidifying agents as aluminium.
When heated, the alkali and acidifier react which leavens whatever is being baked.
BLANTs
Bicarb of Soda is made in accordance with FCCIII regulations ensuring it is a safe product. When measured in ppm [parts
per million] aluminium is not detected.
