Furthermore, according to the article, the sodium nitrate mentioned in the lawsuit has a higher purity (99%) than the sodium nitrate used or processing meat (6%).

Nitrite, not nitrate.

I think it’s because the other is mixed with salt (Prague Powder #1). You aren’t buying sodium nitrite though - you are buying prague powder.

It’s packaged that way specifically.
