FAQs
Q. The date on your NSF certificate looks old, other suppliers’ certificates are less than 2 years old. Is yours still valid?
A.
|
Yes. The date on an NSF certificate is the original registration date, not an expiry date. NSF registration is continuous, a newer-dated certificate does not mean a more valid registration; it usually just means a more recent registration.
|
Q. What makes food grade grease different from regular grease? Why is it called “food grade”?
A.
|
The difference is what ingredients are used in the formulation. Every ingredient such as base oil, thickener, additives must belong to a restricted, toxicologically-assessed list, so that trace contact with food does not create a safety hazard. “Food grade” means safe at incidental contact levels; it does not mean edible.
|
Q. What is “incidental food contact”? Will it cause batch rejection?
A.
|
Incidental contact means trace, unintended contact between lubricant and food such as a micro-drip from a chain, a smear from a bearing seal or similar. It is an accepted operating reality in food plants and H1 lubricants exist precisely for it. When used correctly, it does not trigger batch rejection.
|
Q. Do you provide an Allergen Certificate?
A.
|
An allergen declaration statement is available on request for all MOSIL food grade products, confirming the formulation contains none of the recognised major allergens.
|
Q. Can you provide a MOSH / MOAH Free Certificate?
A.
|
We provide a product-specific MOSH/MOAH declaration stating exactly what the formulation does and does not contain
|
Q. Do you provide a Halal Certificate?
A.
|
We provide a Halal compliance declaration confirming that MOSIL food grade products contain no animal-derived ingredients and no alcohol-based components.
|
Q. Can you provide a Batch Certificate and 21 CFR Certificate?
A.
|
Yes. Every batch is released against a Certificate of Analysis and a 21 CFR 178.3570 compliance declaration is available on request.
|
Q. What is the difference between H1, H2 and H3 lubricants?
A.
The category is based on one question - can the lubricant touch the food? H1: incidental contact possible. H2: no possibility of contact. H3: intended direct contact (release agents).
