“Dairy Approved” Keg O-Rings
Beverage Elements carries “Dairy Approved” keg o-rings.
To my knowledge there are at least a couple standards for food grade orings. Actually these standards don’t just apply to o-rings, they apply to all materials that would touch the food or beverage.
- NSF/ANSI Standard 61 is a safety rating for materials used to distribute or treat water.
- FDA/CFR Title 21 part 176-177 outlines acceptable materials used with food and beverage storage.
Dairy approved materials most likely fall under the FDA food safe provision as milk would be considered a food or beverage (and not drinking water).
All that to say… Beverage Elements is charging $5.95 per keg lid o-ring, Valuebrew is much less expensive and their entire lineup is FDA rated for food contact.

They have some unique offerings like bulk pin lock size post o-rings, replacement universal poppet o-rings, bulk internal QD o-rings and color coded Blue and Green post o-rings

More about food safe materials:
For whatever reason, it’s difficult to find food safe keg o-rings. Maybe some of the o-rings that are available are food safe, but very few are actually labeled as such.
The fact is we’re putting beer (food) in our kegs and we should be using food safe materials whenever we can. More Info: Food Safe Replacement Keg O-Rings
