Does it contain alcohol?

Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla beans in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water. In the United States, in order for a vanilla extract to be called pure, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that the solution contains a minimum of 35% alcohol and 100g of vanilla beans per litre (13.35 ounces per gallon).1 Double and triple strength (up to 20-fold) vanilla extracts are available.Vanilla extract is the most common form of vanilla used today. Mexican, Tahitian, Indonesian and Bourbon vanilla are the main varieties. Bourbon vanilla is named for the period when the island of Réunion was ruled by the Bourbon kings of France; it does not contain Bourbon whiskey.Natural vanilla flavoring is derived from real vanilla beans with little to no alcohol. The maximum amount of alcohol that is usually present is only 2-3%. Imitation vanilla extract contains vanillin, made either from guaiacol or from lignin, a byproduct of the wood pulp industry.

why did the price double from my previous purchase?

INFLATION! On king Arthur's site yiu can help CMassey vanilla from Africa and other places were the started growing it BUT if u want to save money learn a bajers secret...listen Most vanillas cook off or bake off the heat kills it So many pros use a imitation vanilla that doest do that it's called Bakers Vanilla. Amazon sells it super cheap 4 or more ozs I paid. 99 cents ! Yes And it works I don't have to double up You can not tell the difference I keep it in the fridge I've another bottle of vanilla with used clean vanilla beans any regular vanilla I getand dumpnit it Some dried use beans go in a jar of sugar the beans seem to stay fragrant forever. I just sift bits out when in going to use some put the bea"" You can also get a bundle of beans on Amazone cheap You can grind them fine to a powder Or soak forever in liquor and wait a year Split add to a large container of sugar just keep replacing sugar So don't worry about prices Check out vanilla from Indonesia and Uganda From King Arthur Invest for uncooked dishes. Baked goods check out the brand Bakers It will not bake out For 99 cents it's worth a shot. Made some awesome baked goods with it

does it contain sugar?

All carbohydrates (sugars and starches) are made by plants. ALL CARBOHYDRATES ARE FROM PLANTS and broken down into sugar (glucose) TO FUEL ANIMAL BODIES. Alcohol is made by yeast which feeds on sugar or starch AND EXCRETES ALCOHOL. Alcohol is absorbed and transformed into glucose so rapidly that it is especially dangerous to diabetics. Alcohol evaporates faster than water, so if you like the flavor of a wine or spirit, heat it slowly, uncovered. DO NOT BOIL; that would be a fire hazard with spirits. The steam rising will be mostly alcohol.

Why does one paragraph say no corn syrup and another paragraph says it does contain corn syrup?

Hi there, McCormick extracts were reformulated in November, 2010. The new formula removes corn syrup while keeping rich McCormick flavor. There is no corn syrup in McCormick Pure Vanilla. ~ Erica

Deliciously Convenient Banana Flavor in a Bottle

McCormick Banana Extract is a game-changer for anyone who loves baking or making desserts with a bright, natural banana flavor. I love that just a few drops can elevate cakes, cookies, frostings, or even homemade ice cream without overpowering other flavors. The extract has that unmistakable sweet banana aroma and taste that makes recipes pop. What really sets this apart is the convenience. Getting it shipped directly from Amazon saves me a trip to a store, and the bottle lasts a long time since a little goes a long way. I’ve tried other banana extracts before, and this one tastes much closer to real banana without any artificial harshness. Whether you’re experimenting with baking or just want to add a touch of banana to your favorite recipes, this extract is a reliable, high-quality choice.

The taste is really better than others. It arrived in a tad battered box. But nothing had leaked. This is the only negative. The strawberry taste is strong not diluted. Was very surprised by the quality. I do recommend this extract. 5*****
