They declined to say what they were referencing as to their use of those two words with the exception of what they said was “proprietary” information that I assume they think would be a breach of their “Secret” ingredient.reference. I’m sorry to say If,this ingredient is secret then even the F.D.A.wouldn’t know what it, is either. Right ! Im sorry but, that doesn’t seem to be the way we should do things when it, comes to food safety issues in my opinion. Then again the F.D.A. itself has some issues for concern when it, comes to food safety.
