All the CO2 cartridges we sell are considered food grade. Let me explain why.
When CO2 cartridges are manufactured, there is an oil used in the machining process. This oil helps lubricate the machines and ensure smooth production. However, it is important to remove this oil from the cartridges before they are considered food grade.
To achieve this, the cartridges undergo a process called steam cleaning. This involves subjecting the cartridges to high-pressure steam, which helps remove any residue or contaminants, including the oil used in manufacturing. This steam cleaning process ensures that the cartridges are safe for use with food and beverages.
The food grade designation is important because it means that the cartridges meet certain standards and regulations set by governing bodies to ensure the safety and quality of products that come into contact with food. These standards are in place to protect consumers from any potential health risks.
By using steam cleaning to remove any potential contaminants, the CO2 cartridges meet these food grade standards. This means that they are safe to use with food and beverages without posing any risk of contamination.
It is worth noting that not all CO2 cartridges on the market are food grade. Some manufacturers may skip the steam cleaning process or use different cleaning methods, which may not meet the necessary standards for food grade designation. It is important to only purchase CO2 cartridges from reputable sellers that can guarantee their food grade status.
All the CO2 cartridges we sell are food grade because they undergo a steam cleaning process that removes any potential contaminants, including the oil used in manufacturing. This ensures that the cartridges are safe to use with food and beverages without posing any risk of contamination.
