What You Should Know

Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda (32 oz) is a pantry staple you’ll spot in the baking aisle, shelved with flour, baking powder, cornstarch and yeast — often stacked near shelf-stable baking mixes and household cleaners because of its dual kitchen-and-cleaning uses. Packaged in the brand’s distinctive orange-and-white box with the Arm & Hammer arm-and-hammer emblem, the product is a fine, bright white powder that feels silky to the touch and pours easily from the box. Home bakers reach for it when measuring a teaspoon that will fizz and lift cakes, cookies and quick breads; beyond the oven it’s a ritual deodorizer for refrigerators and shoes, a gentle tooth-cleaning or antacid adjunct, and a go-to for cleaning sinks and drains. The brand positions itself as pragmatic and trustworthy — a long-standing American value brand marketed to practical shoppers who favor multi-purpose, affordable products rather than premium or organic claims. The label’s “Pure Baking Soda” phrasing creates a subtle natural/clean health halo, but there are no organic certifications or child-targeted graphics. In plain terms, the product is a single-ingredient culinary and household additive: sodium bicarbonate produced and refined for food use. Sensory notes are minimal — odorless, slightly saline if tasted, and reactive (it fizzes with acids) — and the ritual usually involves measuring with small spoons, sifting into batters, or sprinkling for odor control. A 32 oz box signals a household or frequent-baker size, reinforcing the brand’s image as dependable, all-purpose and economical within American grocery culture.
