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.

  And you do not know the grade?

You asked for,  "Consensus of opinion" !  Does this mean you do not want any facts,
only opinions ?  <grin>

First, you and everyone needs to know the meaning of  "Food Grade".

Put your trust in the FDA ?   That is an FDA term and means virtually nothing.

Many grades exist.  ( and many different percents )

Technical Grade
Reagent Grade
Reagent ASC
Ultratrace
Clean Room Grade
Electronic Grade
Stabilized
And maybe a few more.

The chemical company where I have an account lists about 20 different products.

 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.

  When ingesting H202, for whatever reason, you are usually talking about drops, not ml, ounces, or larger volume.

If you find out how much stabilizer is used in 1 liter of  H202, then calculate how much is in
one drop, ........... tell me about it.
How small will the decimal be?  Across one page, likely.

 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'.
   Yes, that is true.  And it is an FDA term, that indicates the FDA has tested every container,
or someone has.  Nothing more, nothing less.

I consider the FDA a fraud in everything they do.  Not for your benefit or mine, but for the benefit of others.
 
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'.

   No, it would not !

   You still believe and trust the FDA .

   You are better off to trust Dr. William Campbell Douglass.
He has written a few books and has been a strong supported of H202.
 
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.

  Who would trust them either ?  I note you said Pharmacies, not Pharmacists.
Most of the Pharmacists do not know the time of day.
I have asked several how much potassium is in a 10 MEQ tablet, and not one knew
They did not even know the percent of potassium and the per cent of chloride.

 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?

  Depends on where you look, and who you trust.

  It works just fine to add 10 to 20 drops in some water and chug it down.
Does not taste bad and goes down easy.

I can order a barrel for you, any grade you want, from my chosen chemical company.

Like I say about everyone, not just you.

          "you worry too much"   <grin>

Now you have even more to worry about, and I did not plan it that way.

Just one goofy old redneck, that knows the difference in moonlighting
and moonshining.

One final point.  When everyone worries and talks about water distiller, have lost track
of the fact that the hill billies and rednecks where the inventors of distillers.  <grin>
( Big ones, little ones, middle sized ones, and how to build the fires that make them work best. )
