Thank you! But if the ingredient listed is “vinegar” stam, then we don’t know enough about it to say whether or not it’s k4p, correct? On the other hand, if “vinegar” is not the first or second ingredient, given that vinegar is diluted to 5%, it should be batel beshishim if purchased before Pesach, right?
Correct. It is no longer the case. We were extra cautious, but that is no longer necessary. There was a belief that there is still 5% grain in the finished product. That is not the case. Now with Celiacs and the whole Gluten Free movement, we were able to get more solid information.
We have done further research and found that if you took distilled vinegar or distilled white vinegar to a lab to measure wheat or grain content, the result would be 0% (undetectable), even if it was produced from wheat, corn, or barley. Therefore, all distilled vinegars are now fine in any quantities.

If it just says “vinegar,” it must be apple cider vinegar… as per FDA.

I remember previously if it was the first or second ingredient, it needed to be confirmed what it was from. Is that no longer the case?
For example, it’s the second ingredient in great value Dijon mustard
