There are many, many, companies making food grade lubricants -- the entire food and beverage industry needs to be supported with compliant materials. There must be dozens and dozens of suppliers. The last two companies I've worked for both had significant businesses supplying food ingredients and had complex lubricant standards and approvals in place for many products.

I think Google is your friend here.

Petron plus makes the best ive seen so far. None are as good as regular synthetic products. My employer had to switch to food grade a few years ago and bearing life is not nearly as long.

Try this: Lubriplate "SFL" NLGI #0 grease

"... Again, food machinery greases are ideal for our needs. For such things as autoloader slides and rifle bolts, my favorite is Lubriplate "SFL" NLGI #0 grease (their “FGL” line is a good second choice.) In my testing it's proven itself superior as a general lubricant. It is white, aluminum-based, low odor, has superb boundary lubricants, and is designed specifically for use in environments that encounter a huge temperature range. It's also resistant to water washout and acid/alkali environments, has great shear resistance, and doesn't oxidize like lithium greases will. As an all-around grease I've found nothing better. It's available from www.lubriplate.com, in their online store. It comes in a 14oz can which will last you for years - no matter how many guns you have!

(Lubriplate also makes SFL in heavier grades, such as NLGI #1. While thicker than the #0, it is still a pretty light grease, and would be my recommendation for very hot climates. The NLGI #0 is a better choice for most of the United States.) ..."

Dow Corning makes a line of food grade lubricants. I use their silicone based grease #111 on o-rings and water softener valves. It's also good for lubricating anything plastic.
