Do you have a link to that product? At the end it says preserving, which suggests it is food grade.

That is food grade, since it is advertised for foods.

Just going to update this incase someone uses for their research.
The bioshop Canada site is not for public purchase. Only scientific research.
I purchased the food grade sodium nitrate previously stated.

 

[Paul31733]

I received my seachem phosphorous and my food grade sodium nitrate.
If I use the calculator on seachem website it tell me that for my assumed 10 gallons of water.(Fluval Evo 13.5 with lots of rock).
I would need to add 0.1ml to raise my po4 0.01. does this seem right? Should I just put a drip in and test next day?

Also for sodium nitrate. I found another thread with a calculater and I believe Randy said to multiply my answer by 84% and that's the amount to add to water.
Is this the same for my food grade sodium nitrate?

With phosphate, you generally need to dose a lot more than calculated because much of it ends up on rock and sand. Don't worry much about a little overdosing.
