Yes it is food grade. The other grade is pool grade. Food grade even you can consume as well as apply it to your dog's coat. Also this brand has no additives, that is what you are really looking for in a product for internal consumption.

It is "food grade", and I wouldn't be hesitant to apply it to a dog's coat, but I'd start lightly on that. As for eating the stuff, I'd start VERY lightly, watching what the reaction to that would be. Supposedly, it is edible. But I'd be careful.

That's what the label says! I got it to put on our cat for fleas and since he is constantly cleaning himself I wanted to be sure. However, the flea problem was too bad and we resorted to vet treatments... but I still use it on carpets and am glad it's food grade.

yes you can put it in their food and put on their coat. I will say putting it on their coat makes the skin very dry. I have been putting trying to keep my dog in lotion and creams because she has such dry skin. I do not know how it will help a dog with mange but it might be worth a try. After about a month of religiously using this stuff at my home it has worked.

unfortunately. I would advice going to a vet. I say unfortunately bc I know it is an expense. but if Mange is an insect. this would kill the insect. but I am not sure what Mange is.

Mange is caused by mites that burrow under the skin. When they surface to reproduce they need to come into contact with the DE, which will pierce their exoskeleton and cause them to dehydrate. I know this because I used DE to get rid of scabies, which is essentially mange on humans. Just be prepared for some eye irritation as DE is scratchy! . Not sure if the mite follows the same life cycle in dogs as in humans; if so you'll need to reapply the stuff after a week or two when the eggs that were laid under the skin hatch and the itching starts up again in force.

I can not answer that question, I never heard of this product until a few months ago.

Yes it is food grade and will not harm a dog or cat. I know nothing about mange and would advise to ask your vet about it first or check websites about mange and what is causing it. Good luck and may your dog be well again.

I used it on my tomato plants last year. Food grade is a higher grade, safe enough for gardens and pets.

Nothing official, but I wouldn't worry. I'm sure that's why they make 'food grade' grease; because there is a small chance of it getting into your food. Unless you ate a great deal of it, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I'm sure you've eaten worse things without even knowing it.

All I know is what is on the label. You already have it. Both my dogs are using the product and it has no smell and do not see them (dogs) biting at fleas on the fur coats. I hope this helps.Eric

We've been feeding our dogs TOTW wetlands formula. Recently, our 2 year old chihuahua has developed dark patches of skin on her belly that are itchy and flaky. She also scratches a lot. However, she was on TOTW probably a month or 2 before this started. The dogs really like the food, and it seems to keep them healthy and their coats are very shiny and soft. I am waiting to see if it is just Fall allergies (we live in a very bad area for pollen and other irritants) before trying another food.

This should be white, and looks like flour... Awesome stuff!!! I have bought this before, and very safe for animals and humans - as it is 100% food grade.

If you order the Nature's Wisdom Brand Diatomaceous Earth with the blue label from the seller AG Organics then it is the food grade.

This sealer is not rated as food-safe, as with all sealer but it has caused no issues in laboratory animals, according to the MSDS sheet. I would be more concerned about the cleaner used,than the sealer. We suggest Akemi Triple Effect, a food-safe cleaner for after you seal.

If you mean that it would seal water in, it is not food grade. It's for "incidental contact with food", at least when I bought it. It also no longer said food grade on the packaging when it arrived. I didn't look into whether or not aquarium sealant is considered safe for continuous contact with food or not. I would look into that, or look into food safe molding materials for life casting, for example. If it is meant to be in contact with your skin for a long time, it might also be safe for prolonged contact with food.

This works fine but the absolute best product that I've used is D-Earth (Diatomaceous), but you have to make sure it's the food grade. It's great for everything & it perfectly safe around pets & children. Research it and you will see why it's so good.

Liked hitek. Dogs liked it. We switch between this and costco grain free. 15$ cheaper same ingredients. Avoid rosemary. Foods use as a preservative. Think it have my dog seizures since switching seizure free. Hitek best dog food for the price on amazon. My dogs had lamb. It was lamb

It wouldnt be a bad idea to ise a food grade treatment. The wood is untreated. I have not treated mine and it cleans up well and has not stained or anything. But wouldnt hurt at all yo help it last

I contacted the company with the same question and here is their answer: "Yes Food Grade. These are the highest grade oils. Top quality Lemon and many other Essential oils are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of lemon oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop in a carriar oil like olive oil or grapeseed oil. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly."

I don't know whether this is food grade or not, but I have been using it in food for a long time. You only need a drop for a drink of iced tea or if you are making icing. A tiny bit goes a long way. I have used the brand put out by Nichols Nursery which I believe is a food item. I assumed they were the same thing, so I never thought to look and see.

I ended up not using this product because what I received is not the food grade quality and therefore unsafe for use where cats live. I have had success with boric acid which I applied in the wall-to-floor edges with tape covering same for safe pet and human nhalation. The problem is not yet completely gone, so I also await a diatomaceous earth product that is food grade which will likely arrive tomorrow.
