Hence my question, if ascorbic acid and citric acid on their own need certification (according to most agencies, including the cRc), then how come frozen fruit with both of them don't need?

Ones batul plus a tzad heyer of rov, and one is not batul when you buy it.

I bought Ripples All Dressed Chips while up in Toronto. They have a COR, but includes a DE and EL. I understand that the DE means that it is Dairy Equiptment—any clue what the EL means?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

If purim teaches us to trust peoples kashrus, it should apply year round.

How else do you understand the end of the second paragraph? That it only applies to purim?

You can always link something if you want people to know what you are talking about.

Legufoy,
With the references to Dr Mordy Chai, Mr B. San, p-rim technology, 127 bottles, and suggesting drinking whisky with your matzah balls, it seems 100% legit.

What would be the reason to do that here?

He is clearly saying it is specific to Purim and it would be based on the vertle quoted. In general, this story does not seem to have Mar bar Rav Ashi chasum alah and has very little detail.
