Hey, nice link.

"limits the use of the term 'sourdough' to bread with a maximum pH of
4.3 and an acetic acid content of at least 900 parts per million"

Which would rule out baking soda but probably entice the
American "bakers" to pour vinegar into the mix ....
Probably best to let the Sheeple THINK they are eating
sourdough ....
