Default baking powder and bones
(Keith Michaels) wrote in message ...
My can of baking powder lists Calcium Phosphate as an ingredient
and someone told me that it is a slaughterhouse byproduct
derived from animal bones. This is troubling to a vegetarian.
Is it true? Are there animal-free sources for baking powder?

Set your mind at rest. Most calcium phosphate in the food and animal
feed trade is produced from phosphate rock, not bone meal.
