Probably not.  It's got NSF H2 registration, which is the category
class for lubricants that aren't to come in to contact with food.  H1
is the category class for lubricants that might have incidental
contact with food (like machines might drip them on food, if a seal
starts weeping).  H3 is for stuff that will almost certainly come in
contact with food, and is basically food oils.  A whole lot of stuff
is H2 rated, simply because it's not that hard a standard to reach,
and you can't sell into food plants unless you meet the standard.
