MDS is in the business of presenting worst possible case... to justify their existence. and protect from law suit.FWIW see the MSDS at: http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/p5719.htm And at: https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/19370.htm There is absolutely NO sense of proportion... which isn't a guide you want to live by. I have no idea if dichromate was used as a food additive in the past. Its possible because many hazardous substances were.And of course still are. So now in NY State you have to add preservative to apple cider. Tastes almost like canned apple juice. (We talk about getting a cider press... do our very own e-coli, perhaps, but enjoy cider again. Plus you can't sell raw mozzarella, among the other pleasures of an ethnic neighborhood now verboten. The thing you absolutely CANNOT get from an MDS or its co-conspirators is common sense. best, Judy
