Hello. I am trying to find a food grade spigot that doesn’t have silicone and EPDM gaskets inside. I suppose the outer gaskets can be replaced, but the O-rings can be a pain. I tried searching the web and nothing came up. So, is there a spigot that uses natural rubber or any other biodegradable material for its gaskets? Thank you in advance for any response and sorry if I posted this in the wrong “sub-lemmy”.

    Or it’s not really worth it financially, I suppose. I mean, my initial idea was to find an all-metal pump dispenser. There are none and I think they would be both safe and legal?

        I have been trying to get my hands on some pump dispensers from like 100 years ago. I am curious how they used to be made then. Obviously no plastic, but perhaps rubber was most likely used.

          I know they had a leather flap that worked as the pump check valve… likely the same for gaskgets. It would have been tanned but not treated (rawhide?)
