Is Home Depot 30% acetic acid at $20 a gallon safe & ok to use for food

The Home Depot vinegar says it's 30% but the Four Monks vinegar doesn't
say, nor does the Costco advertisement supply a price w/o an account.
 
Anyone know?

The local CostCo warehouse lists the Four Monks at $6.69 / 2 gallons

https://agardenerstable.com/tag/four-monks/

claims Four Monks is 4%, although they do make a 6% 'cleaning version. Are
you cleaning or cooking? If you do the math there is not much difference.
However the Harris acetic acid is not food grade and is made using an
industrial process.
