> Apple sauce tastes sweet as well though so I am not following the logic here. Sorry. My implication was that either the manufacturer was using apples that weren't sweet enough, or that the added sweetness made them more palatable than they could achieve using just fruit (and who knows how many legal additives). [Edit] Glass isn't made with lead, unless it's lead crystal (and even that doesn't use lead nowadays). I'm with you on plastic bottles, and packaging generally; even if it's "recyclable", you can only really recycle virgin plastic, not recycled plastic. And most of it isn't recycled anyway. The only legitimate use for plastic nowadays is to make things that are meant to survive basically forever.

Although crystal has an absurd amount of lead, most glass that isn’t clear has lead in it. For example the green San pelligrino bottles: https://tamararubin.com/2017/04/pellegrino-green-glass-water-bottle-116-ppm-lead-please-click-read-to-learn-more/ https://tamararubin.com/2017/04/pellegrino-green-glass-water... A lot of clear glass has lead in the paint or markings, even in baby bottles.
