You should be able to show that there are no pesticides, heavy metals, dioxins, Proposition 65 materials, microbiological contaminants, or any other harmful material that could leach out into the food that is passing through them.  They should comply with the same standard that food contact packaging must comply with.

Here is the FDA area that deals with these materials.
