Qualities

The regulations set by the U.S. FDA, such as 21 CFR 172.878 coincide with White Oils in order to approve the use in or on food for human consumption, as well as for the use as a component of nonfood articles intended for use in contact with food that meet the standards for human consumption, as Kosher with the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.

The National Formulary (NF) or US Pharmacopeia (USP) consist of standards that are met by these white oils.
