What Does Food Safe Resin Certification Mean for EpoxyFood?

What Food Safe Certification Means

Resins such as EpoxyFood have been independently tested to meet European food contact regulations. This means, once mixed and cured as instructed (without adding unauthorised dyes or additives), surfaces coated with EpoxyFood are considered suitable for occasional contact with cold snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. This certification is only valid if the resin is applied correctly, following all manufacturer guidelines.

Best Practices for Food Contact Safety

For the coating to remain safe, it’s important to:

• Follow the precise mixing ratios and curing times stated in the product guide.
• Avoid adding unapproved pigments, dyes, or additives unless their safety is clearly indicated.
• Reserve the use of EpoxyFood for cold food and drink – it is not designed for hot or acidic foods, or alcoholic beverages.

Typical applications include resin-coated serving boards, fruit bowls, or creative kitchenware. Always double-check the instructions for each specific use.

When This Matters

Food safe epoxy is crucial if you make functional ware intended for any direct food contact. Even if your item only occasionally touches snacks, it is sensible to choose a certified option like EpoxyFood, rather than using a general-purpose resin.
