It was a while ago, but I will see if I can find out for you. From memory it was an injection moulded, food grade nylon material that a local food processing company we do work for uses for their internal prototyping projects.
As I understand it, "food grade" material = any material that has passed the relevant Health & Safety legislation for the territory you happen to be using/supplying it within.
PUs tend to be unsuitable due to the potential for isocyanate compounds leaching into the food (not generally desirable...)
Hope this helps.
