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.
