Food Industry Nonscratching Plastic Putty Knives

Scrape, cut, and spread material in your food-processing facility with these putty knives—they’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Made from plastic, they won’t scratch metal surfaces or corrode from chemicals.

Metal- and X-ray-detectable knives have metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your line. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility.

Sanitary knives are antibacterial to stop germs and mold from growing on the surface.

Autoclavable knives can be sterilized with heat.
