Store, label, and dispense food-grade lubricants separately, with dedicated grease guns, so general-purpose products never end up on food-zone equipment.
Build lubricants into your food-safety plan
Your HACCP or food-safety plan should list which lubricants are approved for each area. Keep the product data sheets on file.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Food-grade grease
Where incidental food contact is possible, use a grease carrying the registration your food-safety plan requires, such as NSF H1, and confirm it on the current product data.

What is an H1 lubricant?
H1 is a registration category for lubricants intended for incidental food contact. Confirm the registration on the current product data.
Can food-grade grease be used everywhere in the plant?
It can be used where it meets the equipment maker’s requirements. Many plants still use general lubricants away from food zones.
