Pretty much all NGLI 2 grease is plenty good enough for general bicycle applications (bearings, threads, etc.). Some applications require a more specific lubricant (freehub body, coaster brake, internal gear hub, etc.).
White lithium grease is not the best in terms of water and corrosion resistance but it is good enough, dirt cheap, does not smell foul, does not stain much, and its colour makes it easy to tell if it is contaminated.

Get some Park grease and toss that.
