Solvay Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is approved for use by the relevant Authorities (such as the FDA in the USA) for food processing applications such as bleaching instant tea, tripe and dietary fiber, bleaching of fish or fish products as well as application as a sanitizer of polymeric food-contact services used in packaging. When used in food applications, hydrogen peroxide dosing is controlled to minimize the amount of residual hydrogen peroxide. However, any remaining residual normally decomposes to oxygen and water in any subsequent processing stages.
