SN - what to look for when purchasing?

[done_so_done]

What to look for when purchasing SN? There are some sellers offering sodium nitrite but it is labeled "food grade". Is that what is going to do the deed? If not, what should I be looking for? Thank you for your help!

mine has very reassuring packaging.

"High purity chemical for experimental and analytic application, technical uses and household applications.
This substance has hundreds of known uses. Please do your own research."

WTF does that sound like table salt?

"Food Grade" refers to the equipment and items used in the production and packaging of something which is intended for human consumption.

The purity is important. I was told >96% pure is "good enough", but >98% would be preferable.

99.6 industrial scientific.

Anything over 70-80% purity will kill you when you're taking 15-20g of the stuff.

What you should be looking for is purchasing from an actual chemist not someone who's got SN on offer inbetween a dozen listings of random shit.

I bought mine from a chemical company that only sells chemical products. SN being one of them in up to 5kg drums!! Over 99% purity.
