should i get food grade, or non-food grade SN? i assume non-food grade, right? english isn't my first language and i just wanna be sure

[SufferingInDenmark]

i know it should be the one with the highest percentage, and obviosuly not the one with only 6%.
but i just get confused by the terms

 

[diviosd]

Non food

Non food

thanks. so food grade just means it contains a bunch of fillers and spices, i assume

In theory, if you were to buy food-grade SN (E250), you could be certain that its purity is above 97%, since by law it must contain as few impurities as possible, given that it is used as a preservative for meat.

It's true, anyway: whether it's technical grade or food grade doesn't matter, as long as it has a purity of 95% or higher

i get it. can someone, however, just tell me the typical common definition of "food grade"?
i've spoken english since i was 12, but occasionally there's words that fall out of my knowledge.
i know the word food, i know the word "grade"...
but not together like that

Somewhere there is a standards body that defines what food grade is. its to make sure that it's some purity of SN and not rat shit or filler.
