Lubricant contamination can be many things, but main ones usually are
Water from various sources include moisture in the air, coolant leaks and rain.
Dust and Dirt
Rust
Weld splatter (Build Debris)
Paint
Fibers
Incorrect oils
Wear particles
Soot
Other oils (often incorrectly used)
Worn Seals
The list goes on but these are the usual things to find. Correct filtration should remove most things (except the oil) but it is better to start with very clean oil to start with. New oil is not always clean oil.

Why and how in some machines it is not advisable to use oil as lubricant?
In some machines, using oil as a lubricant is not advisable due to the potential for oil to attract dust and debris, which can lead to increased wear and damage to components. Additionally, certain environments may expose machinery to high temperatures or chemical conditions that can degrade oil, resulting in reduced lubrication effectiveness. Instead, dry lubricants, such as graphite or PTFE, may be preferred for their ability to provide lubrication without the drawbacks associated with oil.

What kind of lubricant is used in a meat grinder motor is this lubricant toxic?
The meat grinder motor is isolated from the aparatus by a distance of about two feet. The motor is further isolated in a sealed case. All moving parts that come in contact with the meat are sterilized several times a day so that there will be no contamination by chance. The lubrication used on moving parts that need them in the grinding process is food grade lubrication and is non-toxic. This means that any accidental lubricant that comes in contact with the meat is non toxic. However, in the even of any possible contamination, the meat is immediately discarded in the interest of public safety.
