Less than 1/60th is considered that there is no significant flavor. This is the Gemara & Shulchan Aruch, not just an opinion. AA I understand that usually that's the case. But there are things that can give a flavor with less than that - for example, vanilla flavoring. What I'm asking is: What if one of the trace ingredients that we're not aware of is one of these things with an exceptionally strong flavor that can give ta'am with less than 1/60th?
