Most toothpastes have sodium saccharin in them (as do many
Mouthwashes) since you’re not going to swallow them, any
cancer risks are virtually non-existant. Fragrances and
flavors are made in factories where peanut products may also
be manufactured so it makes sense that would be their primary
focus.

Why would a toothpaste have peanut oil in it? I have another question? What is sodium saccharin doing in childrens toothpaste? I called and ask this question and I was told that it wasn’t really saccharin it was a blend. I asked if it wasn’t saccharin, why is it called saccharin? I was told she couldn’t discuss it any further with me. I guess this is what we get when we allow so much latitude.

This kind of thing REALLY gets your back up doesnt it ? But arent we, the consumer to blame even a little for this kind of deception ? The shareholders of these corporations are interested in ONE thing ……. profit. If that comes from cutting costs or raising prices – no one cares. Yes it’s lies, yes it’s deception but hey – an extra buck on the share price is ok by me. We inadvertantly created this mess and this is the fallout. Yeah it sucks but …….

I read it all and find the wording of their response quite interesting. Note that they focused on the flavors only instead of the toothpaste as a whole. Its like they are trying to hide something that if disclosed properly would actually save them a lot of money in the legal department. Their actions are quite unusual as they seem to be dodging the idea of just saying yes or no while thinking it will actually save them money somehow…
