Food Grade Lubricants

Avoid Foodborne Hazards with Food Grade Grease & Food Grade Lubricants

Trust RV Jensen for our commitment to offering oils and lubricants that meet industry guidelines. In the food manufacturing industry, this mission translates to ensuring that we provide a catalog of food grade grease and lubricants that are approved for direct contact.

Avoid the hefty cost of food recalls that cripple companies some $10 million dollars per incident, on average (Source: Grocery Manufacturers Association and the Food Marketing Institute). Contaminants such as salmonella, E. coli,  listeria create public relations nightmares that wreak havoc upon once solid reputations.  Reduce incidences of microbiological, chemical, and physical foodborne hazards, and public health protection is reinforced.

 

To this end, RV Jensen provide the Total Specialties, Inc. brand of industrial food grade lubricants and oils to ensure that your food safety programs follow standards established by the USDA and internationally recognized by the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization.

These standards, the HACCP (the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Rule) principles, form the outline for accepted food safety procedures. The Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) published detailed compliance guides to help agribusinesses meet HACCP regulations. We recommend your company formulate and execute a plan for observing the seven HACCP principles that directly impacts the specifics of your particular product and process. Government and industry groups are formulating generic HACCP models that provide guidelines and directions for developing plant-, process- and product-specific HACCP systems. The International Meat and Poultry HACCP Alliance created a training curriculum to address principles as they apply to the meat and poultry industry. For an addition resource, review the facts regarding HACCP compliance for safe food production.

Think of these HACCP principles as your game plan for monitoring and controlling each step of your process to diminish the risk contamination in meat, poultry, egg, and ready-to-eat products. Make sure that an integral part of your compliancy plan includes our safe, food grade oils, lubricants and greases from Total Specialties keep machinery in top working order.
