    Try lowes or home depot! I've seen it at one or the other! btw, I just read the Dow pdf on their calcium products
    http://www.dow.com/PublishedLiteratu...romPage=GetDoc
    and it seems that :
    "DOWFLAKE 77–80% process grade
    calcium chloride meets or exceeds
    Food Chemicals Codex (FCC IV)
    monograph for calcium chloride
    dihydrate and complies with FDA
    Good Manufacturing Guidelines.
    It also meets the American Water
    Works Association (AWWA) standard
    B-550 and is Kosher certified
    ."
    I guess that means it's pretty pure! Heck, it's even Kosher!(two of my great aunts used to be cooks in the "Borscht Belt" in the Catskills and I remember them using calcium chloride in the brine when making pickles! So did my mother! I think it was to keep them crisp)
