Mike, I also found the subject of "sanitary" to be somewhat elusive. Try the 3A standards from the International Association of Milk, Food, and Environmental Sanitarians or the Food, Drug, & Beverage Equipment Sanitary Standard #ASMI/ASME F2.1-1982. The standards will also require/specify finishes to contact materials that are in the 15 to 35RA range depending on application.

I'm after the actual standard that has this requirement. Can aluminum be used?? Any help is appreciated.
