You may not be aware that there are specifically formulated "food grade" lubricants acceptable for use in meat, poultry and other food processing equipment, applications and plants.
The lubricant types in food-grade applications are broken into categories based on the likelihood they will contact food. The USDA created the original food-grade designations H1, H2 and H3, which is the current terminology used. The approval and registration of a new lubricant into one of these categories depends on the ingredients used in the formulation.
Bet you didn't know that the machinery that produces drugs and vitamins, and process your food has to be lubricated too. Food industry equipment such as preparation, processing and packaging machinery requires special greases that must be both efficient and non-toxic.
AMSOIL X-Treme Synthetic Food-Grade Grease is designed with non-toxic additives to help keep food
and pharmaceuticals safe.

REMAINS STABLE AT TEMPERATURE EXTREMES
This product provides exceptional performance over a wide temperature operating range of -35°F to 350°F (up to 400°F in intermittent use situations), making it suitable for both hot and cold applications.
EXTREME PRESSURE CAPABILITIES
AMSOIL X-Treme Synthetic Food Grade Grease has excellent extreme pressure capabilities that reduce friction and heat generation and help eliminate metal-to-metal contact in processing equipment.
RESISTS WATER WASHOUT
AMSOIL X-Treme Synthetic Food Grade Grease resists water washout which ensures that the grease will stay in place when exposed to water during washing and rinsing. It also resists the harmful effects of water, including rust and corrosion.
PROVIDES VERSATILITY
Food industry equipment such as preparation, processing and packaging machinery requires special greases that must be both efficient and non-toxic. AMSOIL X-Treme Synthetic Food Grade Grease is designed with non-toxic additives to help keep food and pharmaceuticals safe.
APPEARANCE
This product is an attractive pure-white color to complement a hygenic atmosphere which is important in food processing and pharmaceutical facilities.
