Many fish and chips lovers have been reacting in shock to the revelation that the vinegar on their Friday night takeaway may not actually be vinegar. Chip shops often use something else that tastes almost the same but has a number of benefits.
A product called 'non-brewed condiment' may be used instead. It recreates the taste people will be familiar with but cannot actually be classified as vinegar, LadBible reports.
Most people will probably never notice as the flavour is so similar. And fish and chip shops love it as it is cheaper, easier to store as it can be concentrate, and some brands are halal or gluten-free.
