The ingredient ‘dried vinegar’ is flagged as an unknown because its botanical source (e.g., corn, apple, or grain) is not specified. Due to the presence of 1-2 triggers and an unknown ingredient, this product is categorized as requiring testing and is suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction once the vinegar source is clarified.
