Wide mouth container for easy spooning and distribution of the diatomaceous earth. Approximately 1 lb of DE included in container. Never worry about cutting a bag of DE and ending up with a mess! Safest Food grade DE (Diatomaceous Earth) is extremely pure - no unwanted sediment (darker colored Diatomaceous Earth often contains an excess of a particular mineral like iron or a high percentage of clay) Safest Food grade DE is "Food Grade" by FDA standards. Safest Food grade DE has an 89-95% Amorphous Silica content (a trace mineral every mammal on planet needs to live). Diatomaceous earth is used many ways to achieve significant improvements in plant and animal health. It is safe to use in the home and to even consume internally for health benefits. Safest Food grade DE has an 89-95% Amorphous Silica content (a trace mineral every mammal on planet needs to live). D.E. (Diatomaceous Earth) is a non-toxic, safe substance made up from fossils of freshwater organisms and crushed to a fine powder. DE is completely harmless to all animals, fish, birds, or in food.

All Stop DE comes from a water deposit of the diatom Melosira Preicelanica which is made of amorphous silica. Why is this diatom so special? Its shell is stronger and structurally superior to other DE. Its shape and hardness keeps it from dissolving in liquid. Because of its shape, the holes along the diatom's wall allow it to absorb moisture without collapsing; therefore it's used as an anti-caking agent and is considered to be the most effective DE.

Amorphous silica is silica in its natural occurring state. It is a trace mineral every mammal on the planet needs to live.

DE that is used for swimming pool filters and with pesticides or insect baits is toxic to humans, therefore it is important to understand the difference between regular pool-grade DE and our food-grade DE. Other brands of DE often include additives (up to 23% by volume)of toxic, harsh chemicals such as pyrethrum, piperonyl butoxide or pesticides and may contain contaminants such as crystaline silica - these products should not be administered near animals or humans. However, our food-grade DE is so safe, it is approved to be used as an anti-caking agent for grain storage and an organic de-wormer added to livestock and poultry feed.

Our food grade diatomaceous earth is organic OMRI listed Codex Food Chemical Grade. This non-calcined, non-treated fresh water Diatomaceous Earth is mined, sifted, crushed, bagged and pure white in color. It contains less than .5% crystaline silica. You actually get more value of what you want for less and Safest too!
