Applications Food Grade
The term 'Food Grade' refers to the materials that may be used in equipment and machines used to manufacture or process foodstuffs. To be defined as Food Grade, materials must be non-toxic and safe for consumption. Of course, surfaces that food comes into contact with must be safe. There should be no migration of chemicals during short or long term contact.
But products that do not come into direct contact but are used next to or above foodstuffs and where, in the event of damage, particles can end up in foodstuffs, must also be safe for public health. When an organization manufactures equipment or builds machines for the food industry, it is the responsibility of that organization to use safe and approved materials.
In addition to using tested and found suitable material, products must also be traceable to their origin in the hypothetical event that something goes wrong. That is why a product can only be given the designation “Food Grade” if the material is accompanied by its own unique associated administrative documents.
