Where can I find the ingredients in Walmart Great Value Brand White Vinegar?
I'm trying to find out if it is Petroleum-based. There is no label, and I can't find a website to tell me. I'm afraid that if I ask the company, they would lie anyway. If anyone knows, it would be a great help. Thanks.
I don't know about the Wal-Mart brand specifically, but vinegar is mostly water with a small amount of acetic acid (usually 5%, although it can be as low as 3% and as high as 15%). For nondistilled vinegars other acids are also present in small amounts such as tantaric acid and citric acid.
Doesn't it have an ingredient label? It IS possible for it to have a petroleum derivitive though. Increasing quantities of alcohol (ethyl alcohol) have been made synthetically from natural gas and petroleum derivatives.
Would Wal-Mart lie? They can't. They legally have to disclose the ingredients. It's all on record. At the very least, I would write to the company and ask them to disclose the ingredients if it's not already on the label.
If there is any ethyl alcohol in the Wal-Mart brand, read the following quote and check out the link to read the rest of the article that continues this thought.
"the FDA POLICY:
Synthetic ethyl alcohol may be used as a food ingredient or in the manufacturing of vinegar or other chemicals for food use, within limitations imposed by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Alcohol Administration Act, and regulations promulgated under these acts. "
and
"Questions about the suitability of synthetic alcohol for use in manufacturing vinegar arose as early as l948. By Administration Information Letter No. 90, dated January 28, l949, the districts were advised that we seriously doubted that a product made from synthetic alcohol could be appropriately regarded as a type of vinegar."
