ffmpegmp3lame

Does ffmpeg offer an option to prevent the creation of the Info tag in an MP3 file?

I have various MP3 files which I need to process.

The processing includes quite a few steps, but one important one is to remove the Info/Xing tag from the file.

I successfully do so by running lame -t .... However, there are times when I want to run ffmpeg to do a conversion which will happen after the lame -t ... conversion and I see that ffmpeg re-insert an Info/Xing tag in the MP3 file.

Is there a command line option I can use so ffmpeg does not re-insert the Info/Xing tag?
