Hi Marshall,
I think this whole myth began when some baking POWDERS had alumina
sulfate.
Be well,

Bicarbonate of soda is a chemical, and a very cheap one at that. It
is NaHCO3. If it contains anything else, it is mislabeled and subject
to prosecution by the FDA. I don't know where this rumor came from
that it would contain anything else, certainly not alumina sulfate
which would be an expensive ingredient that would ruin the
product. The test for aluminum sulfate is to mix it with sodium
hydroxide, sodium carbonate, or sodium bi-carbonate. If aluminum
sulfate is there it forms a white precipitate and produces CO2. So,
if it is there, all you have to do it mix it with water, and it will
foam producing carbon dioxide, and a white precipitate forms. I have
mixed A&H with water many times and no CO2 or precipitate is formed,
thus there is no aluminum sulfate in there.
