Still have more than half a bottle left. Ner mitzvah brand. It does have a hechser. I'm just nervous- is this stuff actually food grade or just meant for lighting?

You can definitely use it for frying. I've done this in the past. It's expensive, though, so consider if this is really what you want to use it for. Canola oil is a lot cheaper!

I think ner mitzvah lighting oil is not for consumption. For the future, just buy a bottle of olive oil on sale and use that to light. It’ll be higher quality oil and cheaper.

Do not use for eating. You can put it away for next year. I used to buy the kosher Chanuka oils. We found out they’re not necessarily pure olive oil and they’re low quality. We buy regular supermarket olive oil with a hechsher. You can tell it’s better quality and it burns beautifully. I use up what’s left after Chanuka in the kitchen.

Nope, it's not allowed. If it's bought for chanukah licht you can't use it for eating. Save it for next year.

If it’s still in the bottle, it is allowed to be consumed. However, I wouldn’t use the ner mitzvah brand for eating/frying.

You’re right. Leftover oil that was poured but unused is not allowed. If it was extra left in the bottle, it is allowed
See here:
Unused oil that is left in the container, which was never poured into the menorah, is totally permitted, according to everyone. (See Biur Halacha Siman 677:4 Dibur Hamaschil Hatzarich)

If it's extra virgin olive oil then you can definitely eat it but if not I wouldn't.
We buy supermarket extra virgin olive oil for lighting so definitely edible as I use the same one for cooking too but all olive oil has become more expensive this year unfortunately.
