You'd probably want to check with Caswell to be sure but I don't see why you couldn't. Definitely not for cooking...
It's just plastic... right?

None of the powder we sell is FDA approved, although I do think that such a thing exists.

yes it does for sure exist but its pricey, and the dealers i have found sell only in large quantity, say 25#'s and up.

From what I understand, FDA(food service grade) approved powders contain silver in various forms which is one of the things that make it so expensive. We have a powder manufacturer locally who makes a few different formulas and will only sell it in quantities of 275lbs or more. I don't know about you guys but I can't even fit 275lbs of powder into my already cramped shop.
