What is the "fineness rating" so one can determine how powdery the product is ? One reviewer claimed it's too fine for water filtration.....

This product is like a course sand which is what is recommended for water filtration. The maximum ash content according to testing method ASTM D-2866-94 is 3%.

Is this product food grade safe?

Melina, yes, our premium 12x40 coconut shell activated carbon charcoal meets AWWA Standards, ANSI/NSF Standard 61 and Food Chemicals Codex Standards for drinking water applications. If you have any additional questions or would like to discuss over the phone my direct line is 949-732-3318. Thank you. -Joe H.
