Food parafin wax

What wax is a food parafin wax? Had a Scentsy rep telling me today at a craft show that scentsy wax bars are so much better than regular parafin wax bars because they use a food parafin wax. She couldn't tell me what that meant for sure, had to get to another customer. I was NOT a customer as I make my own 100% Soy wax candles. Just curious what she meant by that.

From what I have heard is that Food grade paraffin wax produces less smoke than other paraffin and burns more slowly. Plus it is supposed to be stripped of all impurities and approved by the FDA. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I see food grade paraffin sold at the grocery store with the mason jars. I thought it was meant to be used to seal the lids in a way that would not be toxic to the consumer who ate what was inside. I never thought it would be appropriate to make candles with ($3.50/lb) or that it would be any better on the burn than what we get from the regular IGI suppliers, etc.
