Automatic dishwasher detergent is loaded with chlorine bleach. Sanitizing temperatures are not necessary.

This is wrong (at best outdated). No dishwashing detergent sold at your local grocery has chlorine bleach in it. There are other non-chlorine bleaching agents in some formulations.

You seem to be correct, at least based on review of the MSDS for a popular powdered dishwasher detergent, it's using oxygen bleach (peroxide). Pretty sure it was chlorine bleach in the past.
