People forget that cutting food with sawdust was an actual problem once upon a time. It’s one of the reasons the FDA exists.

Oh, they still do it, but they can’t use as much and they have to put it on the label.

It is still made in strawberry flavored yogurts, this strawberry flavor is a sawdust distillate. That is, 100% sawdust can be used in food as a substitute ingredient. It can be labeled still as natural ingredient, because wood is.

What codename do they use on the label? I imagine it doesn’t just say “sawdust”… tree flour?

    It’s used in shredded cheese as well to prevent the cheese from sticking to itself. It’s also why you didn’t really want to use shredded cheese in foods where the cheese needs to properly melt like grilled cheese sandwiches or pizza.

    Single best reason to buy parmesan flakes or chunks.
    
    Also important to know if you have a wood/smoke allergy.

    Cellulose is not wood. Just like a slice of bread is not a sandwich.

    That’s kind of a strange argument. Cellulose isn’t necessarily wood but wood is cellulose. Your sandwich is made with bread.

    Cellulose powder is wood pulp. It doesn’t really have nutritional value and is often used in the production of certain medicine types as well, but it is definitely wood.

  Typically it says “cellulose”.

Lumber costs more than rice or corn these days.
