Is non-toxic luster dust safe to consume?
Just because a product is non-toxic, it doesn't mean it can be eaten. Take for example the colorful clays. Most of the brands of these clays are non-toxic, but they are obviously not for consumption. ‘Edible' is the term that means eatable. Hence, a product that is marked edible by a respective organization that overlooks the quality of such products, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, is safe to consume.
When it comes to the edible luster dust, the same rule applies. If it is approved by the FDA or any such regulatory body for consumption, you can totally go for it. At Iciniginks, we offer some of the most vivid and vibrant colored edible luster dust for decorating your cakes, cookies, donuts, and cupcakes.
