A Spice may be Pure, and yet come from a country known to produce inferior Spices. It may be Pure and yet inert. Consider the difference in Quality between Acheen Pepper and Tellicherry. They are both Pure peppers.
A Vanilla Flavoring Extract made from rank Tahiti Beans costing $1.50 a pound is a pure Extract of Vanilla, but how does its quality compare with that made from high-grade Mexican beans, costing $6.00 a pound? So it goes all down the line.
The time is coming when consumers will realize that the important thing to look for in the purchasing of foodstuffs is not the word “Pure”—but the name of the reputable manufacturer whose dealings are beyond reproach.
