Hi, I'm currently looking for reliable information source to know past food safety incidents/ near miss case with lubricant contamination for my research purpose.
Kindly share if any.

Hi spriya,

 

Although not directly connected to lubricants, one of the major hazards that I am aware of is the nozzle of some lubricant spray cans being a choke hazard. See attachment for an explanation.

Hi Spriya,

 

I would add allergens, as is quite common for engineers to buy lubricants without required specification. 

 

They should be allergen free as some will be used as a direct food contact. 

 

Ideally, a lockable cabinet should be allocated in the engineers workshop to segregate non-food and food contact lubricants. 

 

The Technical team should be able to authorise each purchased lubricant based on the specification. Some of lubricants are even HALAL, GMO or KOSHER certified. I have attached datasheet and leaflet from ROCOL.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the input but this is not the information that im looking for. I rephrase my query as below:

 

I am actually looking for reliable source of information (website/past articles/published data etc) on past food safety incidents/near miss/product recall due to lubricant contamination in food products means be it through incidental contact that unintentionally lubricant migrate into food or through accidental leakages. I have found past globally reported cases but the source provided in below website does not seems to exist. I need this information to cite the past food safety incidents due to lubricant contamination/migration as supporting information for my theses.

Thank you.
