WARNING!!!
Catsup & ketchup contains:
Retsyn is a trademarked name for a combination of
copper gluconate and
partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, held by
Cadbury Adams (a division of
Cadbury Schweppes). It is an ingredient in
Certs, Certs Cool Mint Drops, and Certs Power Mints.
According to a
Pfizer FAQ Page, Retsyn, in addition to the flavor, is responsible for the efficacy of Certs against breath odors. The hydrogenated vegetable oil and the copper gluconate absorb odors in the mouth. The copper gluconate is also responsible for Retsyn's green color.
