Are the molds, lace presses and veiners safe to use on edible items?
Yes. All the molds/presses/veiners are always used with food items. Any use of these products with a non-food item (clay, wax, etc) negates the food grade charastics of the mold. DTC uses a Food Grade Silicone for all molds, presses and veiners. Below is the information from the FDA Compliance that makes this silicone food compliant.
