Lubricant contamination is a serious issue in the food,

beverage and pharmaceutical industries. All parts of the

food manufacturing process, from animal feed to baking

ovens, require food grade lubricants. The impact of food

contamination not only poses a risk for public health but can

also result in product recalls, public notices and litigation as

well as being detrimental to your company’s brand and

reputation.

Why use food-grade lubricants?

With any manufacturing, there is a chance of accidental

lubrication leakage. In the food and beverage industry if

non-food grade lubricants leak, the impact can be costly.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows zero

ppm of non-food grade lubricant to come into contact with

food. If any non-food grade lubricant comes into contact

with food, the whole batch must be discarded.

NSF H1 food grade lubricants

To reduce the risk of contamination or costly fines, many

companies are choosing lubricants which are registered with

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). The NSF H1

standard is globally accepted as confirming the food grade

lubricant is safe for use in applications where incidental food

contact may occur.
