Looking for information regarding h2o2. I have Hydrogen Peroxide 20 volume 6% w/v in a brown glass bottle bought over the counter at a pharmacy. Although there is nothing printed on the bottle regarding 'stabilisers' having been added, and having an expiry date of 2010 printed on the lable, I am wondering if this product is suitable, in diluted form, to be used in conjunction with CS for ingestion purposes. I am aware that 'Food Grade' is the catch phrase but wonder if those two words would, in fact, appear on a bottle or if this product can be interpreted as 'Food Grade'.
I also have a 3% solution which is in a plastic bottle but states that stabilisers have been added, (I am in no way thinking of ingesting this product though, so don't fret there, external use only), but as the 6% has nothing stated on it regarding stabilisers I was wondering if this one would be considered 'Food Grade'. As a 'throw away' question, I have asked several pharmacies if their product can be ingested and get different answers from each one, although I would never consider ingesting the 3% one anyway, at any time. Just another instance of a lack of credible information one can rely on. Perhaps someone could tell me how they define 'Food Grade', ie; is 'Food Grade' actually stated on the label? Neville.
