Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

Food grade hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature that has a bitter taste and slightly sharp odor. Also referred to hydrogen dioxide, peroxide, and carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide consists of two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms and is often found in aqueous solution ranging from 3% to 35% concentration. Lab Alley’s food grade hydrogen peroxide strictly complies with standards of the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) indicating approval for food, drug, or medical applications. The chemical is typically manufactured using the anthraquinone process.

Food grade hydrogen peroxide is mainly used for the cleaning, disinfecting, manufacturing, and bleaching of food products. As a disinfectant, hydrogen peroxide may be used to clean and disinfect food packaging, instruments, tools, and food surfaces. Food grade hydrogen peroxide ensures that food packaging and packing equipment are free of pathogens that may be introduced to food products. Additionally, food grade hydrogen peroxide can be used directly on foods such as meat, poultry, fruits and vegetables. With its spontaneous breakdown into harmless products, hydrogen and water, hydrogen peroxide is safe and effective on direct food sanitation. As a bleaching agent, it can be used in foods such as starches, cheese whey, teas, etc. to enhance color. Food grade hydrogen peroxide can also be used in other industries aside from the food industry.
