If what you say is...Gee, I don't know, Anthony. If what you say is true, I should be dead by now. The Valentina label says the amount of sodium benzoate is 0.1%. I take a multivitamin with 100% of my daily requirement of Vitamin C (absorbic acid). There is so little sodium benzoate in the hot sauce I use maybe once a week I can't see how it can pose a danger to me or you or anyone else.<br /><br />And if it did, this product would have been pulled off the market long ago.<br /><br />Too bad you threw those bottles away.Victor E.

Evidently the Sodium Benzoate and ascorbic acid combined, create Benzine which is deadly. A real shame , because I had to throw out two bottles of my favorite sauce.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475302416715513717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651217485085288423.post-46161687208179387382016-08-15T15:05:45.907-04:002016-08-15T15:05:45.907-04:00I'm sure it is purified water.
