Carob powder naturally contains a source of Benzoic acid to a level of approx. 300 mg/kg. People can be allergic for Benzoic acid, even if it occurs naturally. We have been informed by the Dutch Food knowledge center that naturally occurring Benzoic acid doesn’t have to be put on the label since it wasn’t added to the carob. However please check this issue with your local food authorities and act accordingly.
