Confused! Missing lines from Passage B

Hi, I ended up getting this answer wrong because nowhere on my computer in passage B does it say that Barite is safe for humans to consume. As I was looking through the discussion question to see why answer was wrong I noticed that the passage B on my computer could be missing the part about where Barite is safe for humans to consume. Could it be my computer or am I really really overlooking a minor detail in Passage B?

    The question asks us what we can infer from the two passages taken together, so the right answer is something we can synthesize from both passages. Passage a tells us that barite is indeed safe for human consumption in lines 16-20, where we are told it is regularly used as a food additive and is inert.
