I wouldn't do that, even if the chemical compound is the same. The
purity is probably NOT the same as the food-grade compound would be,
and it is probably carrying with it things such as heavy metals. You
can buy Fruit Fresh at the grocery store which is citric acid (food
grade) and accomplish the same thing, and ensure your safety as well.
