Eli5: How do secret food recipes stay secret if the ingredients have to be disclosed?
In: 2
Ingredients don’t all have to be disclosed in their entirety, especially if the producer argued the recipe as propriety. Things like spices, herbs, acid, which can greatly influence the flavor aren’t always listed, instead a broad term covers them. Let’s take KFC for instance. They share that they have “11 herbs and spices”, well that can create virtually infinite possibilities. In the case of things like Coca Cola, they may have “and natural flavoring” or some other workaround. Also the quantity of any given ingredient isn’t listed and in some cases can change the end result if only off by a gram or two.
