Potentially good news. I believe Kurt(the chemist) said he uses NOW glycerin. I have one bottle I bought from an all natural Health Food Store but have used it very sparingly.
It is also true that Science, unlike Mathematics, is not static in its "proofs" in this complex field. New discoveries are being made each day. So, what may be declared as safe today, may be found to not be so safe down the road as Science extends its understanding, as in one of Woddy Allen's...
Lets remember that manufacturers can do their own testing of products to show that their product meets USP Purity specs. And they can publish those tests. It just isn't called USP Verified because USP did not do the testing.
As I originally said, a bottle with USP on it means that the manufacturer says it meets USP purity. With USP Verified on the bottle it means that USP says it meets USP Purity. Never seen that USP Verified seal on anything. But, I have never searched for it.
I believe USP and USP Verification are two different things. A bottle labeled USP means that the manufacturer says it meets USP purity. A bottle labeled USP Verified means that USP verifies that it meets USP purity. I don't believe I have ever seen a bottle that says USP Verified.
Rocketman might be correct about the USP and Food grade alignment, then again he might not. Read This
USP's Relationship with Food Ingredients
USP began establishing documentary standards for food ingredients in 2006 when it acquired the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC)
Well, you don't make it simple to check your assertion, do you? I am not saying you are wrong, but would like to find a simple link or quote that confirms that Food Grade and USP are "aligned", which I assume means they meet the same requirements.
