Material
Food Safe 316L Stainless Steel
Food safe 316L Stainless Steel is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and higher yield strength than conventionally made 316L, offered with food-contact documentation, suited to food-processing parts.

About
Food safe 316L Stainless Steel is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, with molybdenum for pitting and crevice resistance and strength well above conventionally made 316L.
It resists oxidation in air up to about 870 °C intermittently. European guidance sets release limits for each alloying element, including nickel (0.14 mg/kg), molybdenum (0.12 mg/kg), and manganese (0.55 mg/kg), so food-contact suitability depends on migration testing and documentation; these should be confirmed according to intended use.
Food safe 316L Stainless Steel is a good option for food-processing components, tooling, and fixtures.
