That being said, I spoke with Mike a few days ago to reaffirm their position on their flavors and coming direct from him, they do not buy from VaporRenu or FlavorWest; they buy direct from manufacturers of the concentrates. I specifically questioned this as FW has been getting hit pretty hard in regards to their iffy position on what is in their flavors (i.e. they stated Diacetyl-Free, but it's coming to light that many are in fact, not and do contain Diacetyl).
That is good to know, thanks! But did he ever answer your specific question as to whether OOO uses Diacetyl or related diketones in any of their flavors? I saw your post where you said you asked but didn't see an answer. If I missed it I apologize.
I'm not horrified by the use of these chemicals at the levels I'm using, but would rather opt for a "safer" juice if possible. I'm trying to eliminate them from my mixing supplies as I find out about them. There's nothing I hate more than finding out a flavor I've fallen in love with needs to be replaced. I'm really missing my peanut butters! Wah...
I've got several OOO flavors and haven't really found one that I dislike and a couple are outstanding. The Cinnamon Roll w/Caramel is wonderful! You can easily taste the dough and the rest is balanced really well. However, it's so good it makes me wonder.
