Finding drinking water safe or food safe is tough. making even harder than finding food safe keg o-rings. I’ve looked at loads of sources and offerings and not many claim to be safe for drinking water.

This offering – Camco 20153 Garden Hose Washer – Pack of 10 previously stated that it was suitable for drinking water safe hoses

The description of these from 7/2017:

• Prevent leaking at the faucet or hose connection
• Flexible washers provide a secure seal
• Durable rubber
• Compatible with standard garden hoses
• Suitable for use with drinking water safe hoses

As of 10/17/23 the product picture from the manufacturer’s page for item #20153 reads “Fresh Water” and (in French) Eau Potable. See below.
