food grade mineral oil
« on: August 23, 2007, 09:16:25 pm »
We are looking to purchase food grade mineral oil.  We have found mineral oil sold as a laxitive, so does that mean it is food grade or must it state food grade on its label?    Thanks in advance.

The Laxitive is is actually a grade ABOVE food grade.  It's USP.  It exceeds the requirements for food grade.
