The Finish Is Half the Job
The right grade can still fail inspection if the fabrication is rough. Porous welds and scratched surfaces trap bacteria and rust, so inspectors look at the finish as closely as the material.

Common Questions
No. Food grade depends on the grade of the steel and on how it is fabricated. The same sheet can pass or fail depending on the shop that builds it.
