German term or phrase: lebensmittelsauber
Bezogen auf einen Kraftreiniger, der "lebensmittelsauber" ist (wenn meine Nachforschungen stimmen, bedeutet dies, dass eventuelle Rueckstaende in der geringen Menge nicht giftig sind).

Vielen Dank.

food safe


Explanation:
Warum nicht einfach "food safe"?

Wenn man es wirklich genauer hinbekommen will, müsste man zunächst deutsch (evtl. in einer Norm, einer gesetzlichen Bestimmung?) nachschauen, wie "lebensmittelsauber" definiert ist (*wenn* es definiert ist .... !?). Aber da wir diese Quelle nicht haben auf die Schnelle, kann man es IMO so machen.

see for ref.: http://www.chemcareliverpool.com/productlistings.html

(ganz unten, food safe sanitising wipe)

Es gibt weitere Beispiele, wenn man "food safe" und "citric acid" o.ä. eingibt.
