If you get baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate, there is no aluminum in it. I don't know why they would advertise it as such. Sodium Bicard is Na2CO3. There's no Al in there. Arm and Hammer is what I use. Maybe others brands add aluminum to it, but if it's pure baking soda, there's nothing but sodium bicarbonate in there.
Aluminum does occur naturally in nature, and is very necessary for certain bodily function, but you get enough of it in other foods you eat. It's not something that is usually added as an ingredient.
Bauxite is an ore that aluminum is found in. It usually is in the form of Al(OH)3 or AlO(OH). That is how it is found in rocks. But aluminum is a naturaloccurringelement. It is just rarely found alone. It is mined in the form of rocks, and then refined

guess is that the type sold as a refrigerator destinkifyer (i know thats not a word) or deoderizer might have aluminum or possibly when sold as a cleaning agent..not food grade in other words
or there might be trace ammounts as a result of the processing..i dont really know

Of all the forms I original products I can find, none have aluminum in them. It must be something added, like you said, as a cleaner. I don't even think it'd work for adeodorizer
