Hello,
The plant manager recently bought a cleaner degreaser for maintenance. I have the SDS, TDS, and NSF registration cert for nonfood compounds. Nowhere does it say "food grade", but it does say "general cleaner (A1) on all surfaces in and around food processing areas, where its use is not intended for direct food contact". I understand what it says, but does it mean its food grade even if you can't use it directly on fc? I have a lot of trouble with the difference in food grade and not.
Thank you!
Hi QAKat,
NSF Registration means what it says, eg -
NSF, nonfood compounds.pdf 18.44KB
22 downloads
Does it say it's "Food Grade " - No.
I suggest you refer to FDA's definition of "Food Grade", etc -

PS - "Food Safe" is perhaps a more appropriate/desirable terminology to categorise cleaning/sanitising chemicals but even this may need further qualification with respect to food contact. IIIRC, NSF do have further Grades to cover such options.
