So which is it? USP or Food Grade? USP and Food Grade are very different ratings. Inhalation/injection vs Ingestion ONLY.

USP is not a grade itself. Rather, USP is the acronym for United States Pharmacopeia, the body responsible for setting the standards. So if you look at the label, you will see USP Kosher Food Grade. This indicates that this product meets the USP standard for food grade propylene glycol.

Carrageenan is not a sweetner but is used as a thickener. It is organic in nature as it comes from red seaweed. While food grade carrageenan is not the same as the degraded variety used in animal tests, I would caution those that have IBS or gastrointestinal problems in using products that contain carrageenan. Note that it is used widely in yogurt and non dairy products such as almond and coconut milks. With that said, I have had no problems consuming the amount in a serving of the MRM on a daily basis. The food grade carrageenan, which has a completely different chemical properties from the degraded variety has never been found to cause cancers in lab animals. So the decision is yours. Research and know what you are putting in your body.

Hi Sheri. Thank you for your question. Since this is a natural product, taste, color and consisteny may vary with each batch we produce. The thickness changes depending on the molecular weight of the chondroitin used in each batch. Each batch of chondroitin we use is tested and confirmed to be USP grade, however due to a cartilage shortage, sometimes it comes from beef and sometimes from pork. This has caused variation in batch thicknesses, but it does not affect the quality. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to contact us directly with any other questions you may have.

It is not advertised as food-grade on the bottle itself. Furthermore, it says on the bottle "not for internal use." I believe that includes eating / cooking with it. We are using it for moisturizing skin / hair only.

Its labeled as a dietary supplement. I believe that the majority of products related to this have to label these as such, to differentiate them from food-related and dietary supplements.

It says on the label " The vegetable glycerine contained in this product is considered food grade." To me that means it is edible. It also says it is derived from Non-GMO palm oil or vegetable oil. It sounds to me that it is. I have never used it for that purpose, but it sounds like it could be.

Not sure exactly what you mean by food grade, but its funny you should ask....just this last weekend i experimented with homemade yogurt. When I was younger, we had a crock similar to this, but with a (not airtight) lid. So I thought i would try it. My method is regular milk with active yogurt culture about a 1/4 c. I covered it loosely with press n seal and I put it in the oven (not on!) and let it sit overnight. I didn't have high expectations because the inside is glazed, but it worked! I don't know it this helps! I also should mention that we live in silicon valley and the temperature was in the upper 70s maybe low 80s

100% de. Food grade. I use it brief periods at a time for my layer hens. No pass-thru chemicals to the eggs.

I take my tanks to my local Propane / Gas vendor and their CO2 gets delivered as "Food Grade" or "Beverage Grade". I'd check around!

From what I understand, this is industrial grade that's sold as a solvent, and marketed as medical grade. Although I could be wrong, but why say "this is a solvent" if it was medical grade intended for topical use? And there have been several customer reviews that have contacted the company. Apparently the DMSO is purchased in 55 gallon barrels and sold as these solvents... in the health department... Go with Dr. Jacob's Labs. They're a bit more honest about the medical grade of their products.

I received the one with the handle, and under the ingredients it is listed food grade. Hope that helps :)

Nothing specifies that they are "food grade." However, they arrive with each one sealed shut. I use them mainly to carry pills around and use them to store my earrings jewelry. Find that they work well.

No, all those 'grades' are all a marketing ploy by the production company. There is no standardizing body in the world that recognizes 'therapy grade' or 'food grade' as actual standards for essential oils. 100% pure is 100%.

I assume the difference is you can consume the food grade, the other stuff might be processed do not consume.

Hello Shana. That is a great question, from what I read it just says USP grade, nothing stating certified. Honestly you might want to call the company to confirm, if that is a big importance to you. You definitely don't want to go off someone's response/opinion when it comes to that. I also typed it in the search field on google and that didn't advise if it was USP certified. Good Luck! :)
