Question: Where can I find an FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approved metering pump?
Keywords: sanitary,pump,fda,equipment,federal,drug,administration,food,processing
Answer: The FDA does not approve any equipment. They only approve materials for contact with food. So for example, 316SS and PTFE are approved for food contact.

Having said that, there are several manufacturers offering "sanitary" metering pumps with various industry approvals and differing levels of sanitary construction.The manufacturers below supply sanitary pumps:
