Positive list from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
This list, which is recognised worldwide, contains all the substances authorised in food grade lubricants. The White Paper published by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) publishes all lubricants tested by the NSF. You can find them at www.nsf.org in the chapter "Nonfood Compounds Listings Directory", organised by company name. The classification NSF H1 stands for lubricants that may be used when food contact cannot be technically excluded.
