Folks, Does anyone have a source for food grade O rings? I found one online and sent an inquiry. I was ignored. Any leads appreciated.

Food grade O rings?

It is a matter of species, of which nitrile and EPDM are approved. There is no "gradient" to make any given item food "grade", as if it were a matter of a continuous variable like purity.

Thank you. My needs are considerably larger than those offered.

While your comments are somewhat on target, there is apparently a prescribed procedure and given components that are incorporated that constitute food grade. This link alludes to the idea. They offer food grade rubber in sheet form, but not O rings.

I wonder if the "O" rings they use on male sheep are food grade?

is a site of a manufacturer. My search was: NSF food "o" ring and returned many results which should provide you with all you seek.

Thanks for all the leads and grins, guys. I should be able to narrow this thing down now.
My search for food grade O rings, alone, yielded poor results. No imagination on my part, it appears.

Hmmmmm! Food for thought! :-)

Here's a fun one, print it out full sized, tape it on a can of something and leave it in a friend's pantry
