I just joined a new company. They are utilizing dry ice blasting to clean product contact surfaces. I am new to dry ice blasting.

Does the dry ice we are purchasing need to have a COA since it is used on product contact surfaces? Thanks!

An SDS yes, not really a "CoA".

Does the dry ice need to be "food grade"?

Hi,

I am not in the US.

For EU: it depends. The final rinse is drinking water?
