From: "Mea McNeil" 'Yes, it contains starch. Does anyone know of a brand 
that does not...?'

In UK the largest sugar manufacturer is Tate & Lyle - produce 'Icing Sugar - 
pure cane sugar' containing 'icing sugar and anti-caking agent E554' (what 
ever that is) - also 'Fondant Icing Sugar - pure cane sugar'  containing 
only icing sugar and dried glucose syrup.  I use ordinary for powdering 
colonies as the sugar falls straight thru the mesh floor and the fondant 
icing sugar for queen candy.  Fondant is more expensive. But am watching 
these posts and if anyone has evidence of damage to brood from the 
anticaking agent .....please speak now.
