    People forget that cutting food with sawdust was an actual problem once upon a time. It’s one of the reasons the FDA exists.

    Oh, they still do it, but they can’t use as much and they have to put it on the label.

      It is still made in strawberry flavored yogurts, this strawberry flavor is a sawdust distillate. That is, 100% sawdust can be used in food as a substitute ingredient. It can be labeled still as natural ingredient, because wood is. Just as the red dye, carmine, made from a species of insects, is labeled as natural. The small difference between strawberry flavored yogurt and strawberry yogurt. Bon apetit.

      What codename do they use on the label? I imagine it doesn’t just say “sawdust”… tree flour?
