Food-Grade Oils: Safe and Efficient Solutions for Food Production

In the food industry, efficiency, hygiene, safety, product integrity, and quality are indispensable at every stage of the production process. In this context, it is not only essential that equipment operates smoothly and with longevity, but also that the process aids used are fully compliant with food safety standards. This is where food-grade oils (NSF H1 classified oils) come into play.

What Are Food-Grade Oils?

Food-grade oils ensure the integrity, durability, and minimal maintenance requirements of equipment components, while providing lubrication between the equipment and the product, thereby enabling a smooth production process. These products are specially formulated to be safe for human health, even if they come into contact with food. They are used in critical processes such as filling machines, ovens, cutting and slicing equipment, conveyor and belt systems, molds, and mixers on food production lines.
