It is available here in either food grade or agricultural grade.
it is called diatomaföld or kovaföld
google it
e.g
Diatomaföld DE szűrőkbe (20 kg)
Also used here is alganite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alginite it is mined in Pula https://www.mineralholding.hu/iparia.../alginite.htmld and is a very useful addition to chicken poo prior to use (also cat litter and in the chicken house to reduce smells) and as water retaining fertiliser for the garden
