This was originally formulated for the brewing industry so yes, it is food grade when used according to the directions. Keep in mind that it is a powerful cleaning chemical. Food grade does not mean "safe to eat." Follow all directions and cautions on the label when using.

Is this a "no-rinse" solution?

PBW Is a cleanser, so you will rinse after use. After cleaning and rinsing, try Five Star's "Star San" which is a no-rinse Sanitizer.

There isn't an ingredient label. what is in pbw? can it replace soda when making homemade cleaning solutions?

PBW is 29% sodium percarbonate, 31% sodium metasilicate and 23% sodium sulfate. It also contains surfactants and chelaters (5% each) and a gelling agent (7%). I don't know if that would replace soda when making homemade cleaning solutions, but hopefully this information will be helpful.

Will this work plastic to clean water reservoirs like camel-bak?

It would work well I think with some soaking to clean gunk out of the bladder and tubing. I've used it on plastic brewing equipment without problems, although nothing as soft and flexible as a Camelbak bladder. Be sure to rinse really well!

Imagen engañosa.

El producto tiene un costo más elevado de lo que vale en el mercado mexicano, usan una fotografía de producto con mayor tamaño y eso me parece engañoso. Lean bien y comparen precios.
