Yes and no. It’s sodium bicarb, but it’s not food grade.
That’s for cleaning!
You are looking for Backpulver or Natron
Idk the answer. But in the picture, there is pan chair and tshirt. What makes you think it is ok to use it with food?
That’s for cleaning, not for consumption.
What you’re looking for is
Baking Soda = Natron
Baking Powder = Backpulver
I would not use it, as it doesn’t show food and isn’t called “Backpulver” or anything. So no.
No, it is not the same. The one you are looking for is sold under the name Natron.
It can still be used to tenderise meat, though. It produces alkaline pH, which softens meat fibres in the same way baking soda does.
Not food grade.
Food grade baking soda is called natron.
No, Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate), is called Natron. Reine Soda is usually called Waschsoda (Sodium Carbonate).
Germans often use Backpulver which is a mixture of Natron, potassium bicarbonate and some mild acid.
You can get booth Natron and Backpulver pretty much everywhere
That’s for cleaning
No, they’re different chemicals: “pure soda” is Na₂CO₃, i.e. sodium carbonate, also known as “washing soda”; “baking soda” is NaHCO₃, i.e. sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate.
Pure soda is more alkaline, and therefore more caustic, than baking soda. It’s obvious, really: pure soda is supposed to dissolve fats, baking soda is just supposed to produce carbon dioxide.
Check the composition. If It is sodium bicarbonate, which is the same you find labeled as Natron or baking soda, it’s the Same chemical component. Useful for cleaning, baking and for when your have heartburn.
If tenderize meat means cooking Crack it works
Well, you probably can bake with it and eat it. Most likely ju can do it just once, though
No! Please don’t use this. It is meant for cleaning purposes. I don’t know if you can get that kind of soda you are looking for in Germany but would guess the closest things might be Natron or Backpulver/Baking powder.
Sodium Bicarbonate is for eating (z.B. Kaiser Natron) and Sodium Carbonate is for washing and cleaning (z.B. Reine Soda)
You can get the Arm & Hammer backing soda at any asian markt 🙂
You could just get the package translated, it clearly says what it is for. Not to mention, the images do not indicate food at all.
A bit more effort OP…
In the UK we call them soda crystals. It’s a natural multipurpose cleaning product. Great for anything, especially removing coffee stains from mugs
Yeah and the pictures on there are called “Serviervorschlag”
omg please do NOT use this for cooking💀
I’ve tried it to tenderize meat before I knew better – don’t do it!! 😭
This is Sodium Carbonate, whereas baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate.
In Germany you need what’s called “Natron”
Great for laundering, but please don’t eat it.
Baking powder has acids, baking soda has not…or something like that. Important to know. When used for cleaning and you use baking powder the mixture could emit poisonous gases. Take care. Read up what’s going on there because I am obviously no expert.
It should be the pure real deal for everything.
Not to be rude but there’s a garden chair and a tshirt on the front, why should that be edible?
The “Reine Soda” you’re looking at is Na2CO₃. That’s **not** baking soda.
You can, theoretically, cook with it (it’s used in ramen noodles or as lye in marinate or lye-based baked goods, for example), but given that that’s not the intended purpose of that product, you probably shouldn’t.
Baking soda is NaHCO₃ which is sold as “Natron” in most German supermarkets and drug stores.
You want this one (the green box with the lady washing her clothes/holding some NaHCO₃ in front of a spring on the newer ones) :
It’s cheap, food grade and identical to baking soda. It even comes in the same kind of box. You can use it in your cookies or to de-smellify your fridge.
If you get to France, there stores actually sell baking soda in larger boxes vs lol the small packs normally sold in Germany.

That’s washing soda not baking soda https://www.realsimple.com/washing-soda-vs-baking-soda-8418441#:~:text=Baking%20soda%20is%20gentler%20than,and%20baking%20soda%20isn't
