Health notes
Organic spirit vinegar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, has been studied for its potential effects on blood sugar and appetite, though results are mixed and more research is needed. JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) has evaluated acetic acid and established an acceptable daily intake. It is not associated with major health controversies at typical consumption levels.
