I thought the exact same thing when I purchased it. I had used it before several times with great success. But I can say the thread I initially linked to was posted for a reason. I remember seeing some threads on RC about this as well. I do not know if it was a single bad batch or product formulation change.
There are several types that are easy to get and say specifically food and or aquariums safe on the label. For the hassle of possibly doing it wrong compared to the slight cost increase of doing it right in the first place, why risk it? It reminds me of people suggesting buying calcium chloride driveway deicer for dosing.
