Does anyone know if a product coming into contact with induction hardened stainless steel 304 is allowed by FDA regulations.

@mods - could this thread be moved to the Material Engineering General Discussion thread?
 
Too late.
304 is not hardenable by heat treatment, induction or otherwise.

What does gas nitriding do to it then? Is it just a surface treatment that prevents rusting?

Found out that this is the actual treatment done on the part.
 
Nitriding of stainless steels impairs the corrosion resistance by tying up chromium with nitrogen.
