Today I finally purchased some mineral oil which I thought had a
probability of being FOOD GRADE.
I live in a border community(Point Roberts, WA) and had to go into Canada
to find ANY mineral oil. The feed stores & pet stores had oil but it
seemed to have other additives so I figured it wasn't FOOD GRADE.
Drug stores though, do carry mineral oil--- but there are two types.
One(LIGHT MINERAL OIL) is labeled as a rub and the other(HEAVY MINERAL
OIL USP) is labelled as a laxative.
Assuming the laxative to be FOOD-GRADE<g>, I purchased a half litre for
under $5 Canadian. Can anyone verify that THIS is the Canadian version of
FOOD GRADE mineral oil or suggest a less expensive source?
