I can understand NE's concern about the "health problems" concerning a few of the ingredients that "might" be involved in Woody's.
My answer...
The idea isnt to drink it !!
I don't know of any instance where this product isn't COOKED again.
Oh yeah, no charcoal grill I guess...too many carcinogens (sp).
SanFran Bill, Clair & Janet....remember, the recipe was derived MANY years ago and has been sold & manufactured more than once, continuously, for almost 100 years.
Maybe the secret REALLY is the red Dye #40 ??
Keep up the wonderful work guys, and DONT be afraid to use REAL ingredients rather than a "new & better" soy substitute.

PS.. I still think alligator poo and crab roe is the secret flavor (?)
