USP is "United States Pharmacopeia". FCC is probably "food chemicals codex".

They both mean that the chemical in question conforms to the purity standards of the document specified. What that means PRECISELY you'd have to look up in said document, but in both cases it means roughly "this compound is pure enough to use in making drugs (USP) or foods (FCC)."

On the purity scale, USP/FCC is usually somewhat less than spectroscopy grade, but better than lab grade or reagent grade.

Is FCC grade different from USP grade but USP acquired FCC ... confused?

FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) grade and USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade are two different standards for purity and quality. While USP is primarily focused on pharmaceutical products, FCC is specific to ingredients used in food and beverages. Although USP has acquired the FCC standards, they still remain distinct in their applications and requirements.


Define USP grade?

USP grade refers to a set of standards established by the United States Pharmacopeia for the purity, quality, strength, and consistency of drugs, food ingredients, and dietary supplements. Substances labeled as USP grade meet the specific criteria outlined in the USP-NF monographs.


Is Magnesium stearate NF tha same as magnesium stearate FCC?

The short answer is 'yes'. Here's the longer answer:The NF (National Formulary) is a compendium of monographs and standards for excipients used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. The FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) lists standards for ingredients used in food processing. Many ingredients are used both in foods and in pharmaceuticals/supplements, so the standards tend to be identical (or virtually identical). The same standards tend to apply around the world, so it is not unusual to see magnesium stearate labeled as Magnesium Stearate EP/BP/JP/USP/NF/FCC, meaning that it meets the standards of the European, British, Japanese and US pharmacopeias as well as the NF and FCC.
