Food grade lubricant for sausage stuffer?

[BeatEater]

Hello. I was just wondering if people are using food grade lubricant in their sausage stuffer. My new stuffer is calling for h1 or h3. It sounds a little weird to me, quick research showd that if h1 is over 10 parts per million it’s not safe for human consumption.

I've been using FMP Food Grade Oil for a very long time and am not dead yet. I use it on my stuffers, grinders, and everything food processing related.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Is there a certain brand you prefer?

FMP is the brand. Franklin Machine Products.

I've used cisco before and have found a food grade silicone lubricant at the hardware store that I've used.

So many jokes; so little internet space ...

White oil from Waltons.

White mineral oil. I spray a little inside the stuffer, grinder plates, steak guide and rolling table on the bandsaw. Also use it on the carcass splitter and brisket saw.

A lot of "food" grade lubricants were initially industrial grade re purposed.

The good old USA ignores cumulative toxicity.

Lard. I haven't lubed mine in over 70 elk and at least that many deer. I give the friction points a rub with lard and let the stuffer and grinder eat.

I use coconut oil on my grinders and haven't had any problems with it so it should work with a stuffer.

I use the Cabelas food grade silicone spray.

Another vote for lard here. It's all we use if it's getting near any meat we're processing.

If it does kill us right away, it's approved by the FDA! Same with seed oils (vegetable, corn, canola), originally were used as lubricants.
