food safe
Non-toxic for eating
Food safe describes materials or surfaces approved for contact with food without contaminating it.
Cutting boards, storage containers, and cookware are labeled food safe when they won't leach harmful chemicals or harbor dangerous bacteria: Make sure the plastic is food safe before storing leftovers in it.
The term appears in regulations and product marketing for anything touching what people eat.
