First of all I am not into food or GMP.
What filaments? Propably PP (if you don't need foodsafe either use PP plates or packaging tape as build plate), ASA, Nylon and if those don't cut it PEEK. I personal like FormFutura filaments as most of them print well.
To name an "unusual" filament brand: Igus. Not sure if they are food safe but they are plastics with solid lubricants. This could be interesting for moving parts but: Using injection molded skates and roller will have a higher durability compared to FDM 3D-printed. Request free samples or talk to them. Be warned they can be a pain to print.
