      No and you are asking someone whose expertise is in shopping not on food ingredients. The manufacturer just decided to add that to clarify why the citric acid is used - to correct the pH to the range they want it in, for taste, safety or stability, depending on the food.

    Please ignore the negative comments on the tinned seafood -- they don't know what they're missing! I am always on the hunt for high quality, affordable tinned fish and love your recos. Keep them coming!
    On another note...at the risk of being hated by everyone, I find TJ's fresh baked goods to be overall very lacking (breads, cakes, cookies, yes, even the kringles) and I've learned to just stop shopping that section in total. I've tried so many things and I find the desserts far too sweet and the breads unremarkable to inedible (that carb savvy one...ugh, went into the trash). But I am also a victim of FOMO. Do you think I'm missing out on anything good in there?? If you think there is something good I will try it because I trust your judgment!

Most of the items I feel are subpar except for a couple items here and there. I do enjoy the peanut butter brookie (but that’s going to probably be too sweet for you and already gone for the season). I also enjoy the gluten free blueberry muffins (but again too sweet). I loved the lemon mini sheet cake when it first came out and then hated it this year.
      For my bread recs:
      I love the olive Fougasse bread in the bread section. Just warm it up for 20 seconds or so in the toaster oven and it’s so soft and fluffy 🤤 also the cracked wheat sourdough bread used to be a favorite but in the last year or so, it looks way different so I feel like they might have changed the recipe 😕
