I believe they call it "white" because it is clear, as opposed to having a yellowish or brownish tint. Your best bet is to look for "pharmaceutical" grade mineral oil, which is a higher grade than food grade mineral oil, and is required to be free of all impurities. Some food grade mineral oils have lubricants and anti-wear additives, because they're approved for use on food processing machines.
