That is correct. Baking soda is by definition sodium hydrogen carbonate
aka bicarbonate of soda and sodium bicarbonate. It has both chemically
and legally a formula of Na2HCO3. If there is anything else in it, then
the FDA as well as the FTA would be all over the culprits. Plus it
makes no sense to add anything else since bicarb of soda is one of the
most inexpensive compounds around, virtually anything else added to it
would be more. For instance bicarb of soda goes for around $350 per
metric ton (
http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/bulk-bicarbonate-of-soda.html ) or
around 6 cents per pound. Aluminum is 93 cents per pound (
http://www.infomine.com/investment/metal-prices/aluminum/ ) or almost 6
times as expensive. So for a company to add something that would get
them in legal trouble with the FDA/FTA, make the product not work
properly, cost them 6 times as much to produce, and get black listed for
having impurities in their product would be incredibly stupid.
