Look at the images online. The packages on both say that they're 50% phosphoric acid. The "Starsan" has another acid at 15%, but it's not likely a differentiator in their performance.
Another thing you can do if you want to know the chemical makeup of something - Ask the MFG for an "MSDS" (Material Safety Datasheet) - it'll generally tell you what it's made up of.
Oh right, thanks again!
