I am tossing so much and buying cleaner products
Clabber Girl baking powder has aluminum in it. So do most of the store brands next to it.
The can lists corn starch, sodium bicarbonate, sodium aluminum sulfate and monocalcium phosphate. The corn starch keeps the powder dry so the other three don't react in the can. Sodium bicarbonate is baking soda, and it gives off carbon dioxide when it meets an acid in water. Monocalcium phosphate is the fast acid. It reacts the second the batter gets wet, so the first bubbles form in the bowl. Sodium aluminum sulfate is the slow acid. It doesn't react until the batter passes about 140F, so the second rise happens in the oven. Two acids, two rises, and that's all double-acting means.
Sodium aluminum sulfate is the cheap way to get the slow acid, which is why it's in the cans that cost the least. Calumet, Kroger and Great Value use it too. Rumford, Argo and Bob's Red Mill leave it out and use sodium acid pyrophosphate for the slow half.
The FDA lists sodium aluminum sulfate as generally recognized as safe. In America's Test Kitchen's blind tasting, a few tasters picked up a faint metallic taste from the aluminum cans and most couldn't tell. The ingredient list on the can is where you find out which one you have.

We were lucky. This is the worst that happened to us. Now, waiting for the power to come back on.

This was well done. Near as I can tell, the Browns have had 17 more QBs since this was made. Time for an update!
Note: Bills Mafia is accepting new fans.
