when used in food is it considered a perservative?

I have never used it for anything other than preserving plants as ornamentation. I have never used it in food.

I would think this would have preservatives since the bottle is opened and you use until it,s gone and there is no special thing like refrigeration called for

Since it is chemical base, I would not put it in a closed refrigerator with or without food

It depends on your definition of 'chemical' as the table salt and and granular sugar we commonly use are by nature chemical compounds -- sodium chloride and sucrose (a carbohydrate) that have been further chemically bleached. Your question should be whether these products contained harmful preservatives. From my first hand observation, the small amounts of preservatives used on them are relatively innocuous but who know for sure as scientists are the worst liars of all either by omission or ignorance. What is considered safe today may turn out to be carcinogenic tomorrow as it has been discovered time and again. Chenicals are like people or sharks, not all of them are bad.

I have only used it to preserve my wooden end grain cutting boards and some wooden spatulas. I've heard about it being used as a laxative, but I've never used it for that purpose, so I can't comment on that. At least when used to impregnate cutting boards, it doesn't impart any taste to food that is being cut on it, so I assume it doesn't really have a taste to it.

WOW! Sorry, Donna, can't definitively answer that. But since this is the non-toxic food grade I suppose the answer might be "can't hurt, might help." Good luck!

Do your research! I believe food grade is safe for humans according to the FDA. I haven't tried it yet. I'm looking for more complete info first.

It does not need to be refrigerated. So for example if you are traveling with it, it's okay to keep it out. But if you are just going to keep it at home, it's a good idea to keep it in the fridge.

NO preservatives, additives, fillers or syrups. Only 5 pure, organic, whole food ingredients. Many food products in America are priced inexpensively because they are made of processed ingredients which are harmful to our bodies.

No. I spoke with a company rep and she said it's "freeze-dried" which is the reason no refrigeration required. Her explanation was that by being freeze-dried, it gets into the stomach/intestines. I don't think it should ever be refrigerated as the humidity of the fridge might screw up the freeze-drying?

I refrigerate mine. Better to be safe than sorry. Just love this product, I take it to elevate my immune system and also give it to my dog. Hope this helps.

It doesn't have to be, but the bottle says "For best results, refrigerate after opening". I don't refrigerate mine :)

A product you use on your skin only, generally has different guidelines than a food. I wouldn't use it in any way that would interact with something you might ingest. I'm sure it's fine for the purpose for which it's intended

I am not sure WHY you are asking me??? I am not the person selling it and I think you should direct your question to the source. However, I don't mind telling you that "food grade" means it's used by the food industry. A*

It is a raw food with living properties, as such its efficacy is severely compromised with that time line. Except if frozen ( which you didn't specify whether what compartment it was stored in ) which changes the scenario considerably. But at a two year mark in the lower normal refrigeratiion compartment its efficacy is diminished at best, if nonexistent. Food is not a museum piece, especially raw food. It is designed to be consumed as soon as possible, not retained for excessive lengths of time.

I would not recommend use with food as it seems to not be sterile. It was received wrapped and taped in bubble wrap.
