Once a patent application is filed, it is later published (a month or so later) and made public, unless it is a "preliminary" application in which case it is not published until 12 months later, if and when it is converted to an actual application.
If they go the preliminary route they do not have their ducks in a row yet, and are still working on the invention (formula). If they intended to keep the formula a trade secret they would NOT file a patent application of any kind.
I am always suspicious of companies that claim they have patent applications on this and that, that do not provide the application numbers. Unfortunetly it is an all too common practice.
