Is EpoxyFood Epoxy Resin Certified Food Safe?

← Back to How do you put resin on a worktop?

If you’re looking to coat worktops, cutting boards, or kitchenware that will come into contact with food, understanding the food safety of your resin is essential. Here’s what you need to know about EpoxyFood and certified safe surfaces.

What Does Food-Safe Resin Certification Mean?

EpoxyFood is independently tested for compliance with European food contact standards, specifically for surfaces in contact with cold, non-alcoholic food and drinks. Certification under EU Regulation No. 10/2011 confirms its suitability for these uses, provided it is mixed and applied as directed without unapproved additives.

This makes EpoxyFood appropriate for kitchen applications like coating plates, serving boards, cups, and worktops where snack preparation or serving cold foods is common.

How to Apply EpoxyFood for Safe Results

For best results, always follow the instructions for mixing (typically a 100:55 ratio by weight), ensuring accurate measurement and thorough blending. Avoid introducing solvents or powders that have not been tested for food compatibility. Apply the resin to a clean, dust-free surface and allow it to cure fully as per the guidance on the packaging before any food contact.

If you want a food-safe, crystal clear surface for serving platters or worktops, consider using EpoxyFood as your coating of choice.

When Does Food Safety Matter Most?

Coating chopping boards, serving trays, or worktops used for preparing snacks or drinks
Making craft kitchenware intended for frequent contact with food
Projects where peace of mind about non-toxic, certified ingredients is a priority

For worktops or surfaces exposed to hot foods or alcohol, extra care is needed, as EpoxyFood’s certification does not extend to these conditions.
