Citric acid at grocery Store

[Jdm18honda]

I have been looking for a larger supply of citric acid locally that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like this stuff used for canning. I came across this in the pool section at my local Publix.
It does say it contains citric acid, but does not give an ingredients list or other ingredients

Could be the same exact stuff as BRS Citric Acid, but I'd be much, much too paranoid to put that stuff within 100 feet of my tank. That's just me. :)

It's probably fine with a lot of rinsing. One concern would be that it might also contain surfactants such as soaps.

I recently bought citric acid for cleaning an aquarium, and just bought a food grade from Ace Hardware.

Pick of what you bought. I only see the canning citric acid
