    I would not have thought this possible, since Vitamin C is added to so many processed foods these days.

      Is it cheaper to leave vitamin C away? Or is it a conservation/by product? I’m asking because if they can leave it away they’ll do so. But I’m no expert in food processing nor vitamin addition laws.
