Ladel Fire Brick- food safe?

[SmokeandSwagger]

Hey all, I'm reaching out to local mason suppliers to find a good price on fire bricks. One company got back to me with a great price ($1.74 for 8.25x4x2.5 bricks) but rather than standard fire bricks I'm seeing around, they are ladel (ladle?!) bricks, which appear to be used in steel foundry applications. Does anyone happen to know if ladel bricks are food safe? When I search for them, I get very few hits, and no information about whether or not they are food safe. Just wondered if anyone has run into this and what the results were!

thanks for passing that along! the supplier got back to me and actually said they're just regular fire bricks, that is just the name they use for them in their catalog. So I guess that's why there's not much to be found about them online, they're not a different thing from regular fire brick!
