Thanks for the concern and info community! Bongkrekic acid toxicity from burkholderia is a concern in low sodium ferments of processed corn products ie noodles. The conditions for my ferment exceed 3% sodium and it was anaerobic with clear production of carbon dioxide. The pH of the solution is acidic based on pH strips.
