Why is there a Food Grade sticker on Organic Diatomaceous Earth?

Why would you be allowed to use this label on a bag (4.4lbs Insect dust) as food grade?

Answer:

Organic Diatomaceous Earth has a food grade approval as it is safe to use around people and animals versus other products that also contain Diatomaceous earth, i.e pool grade DE which is not considered safe.  Being food grade does not mean that is safe for human consumption, and per the manufacturer this should not be done as it is manufacturered on the same machinery that produces things you should not ingest.
