Is there a list of food safe Prusament filaments?
Hi!
Some colour pigments are not food safe, but there is no declaration which pigments are used in the Prusament filaments.
Is there a list of food-safe or not food safe PETG Prusament filaments somewhere?
I am aware of the problems with bacteria contamination between the layers. If I create an object and seal it, but the seal gets small cracks, food could get into contact with the filament itself. Or, if I print e.g. cookie cutter... In this case, I would like to avoid filaments, which contain problematic pigments, which could leak into the food.
Should be simple enough to check, if there are problematic pigments, and make a list of filaments which contain these. 😄

"Most of our PLA and PETG Prusaments (excluding PLA Army Green)* contain inorganic non-migratory pigments that should be safe, but keep in mind that we didn’t acquire any certification. If you print food-grade objects with our filaments, you should do it only for personal use, not for sale."
"*Our coloring manufacturer confirmed that these colors should be safe for food contact:
- PLA Galaxy Black
- PLA Galaxy Silver
- PLA Azure Blue
- PLA Lipstick Red
- PLA Galaxy Purple
- PLA Jet Black
- PLA Prusa Orange
- PLA Pineapple yellow
- PLA Royal Blue
- PLA Ms. Pink
- PLA Opal Green
- PLA Pearl mouse
- PETG Jet Black
- PETG Prusa Orange
- PETG Signal White
- PETG Carmine Red
- PETG Yellow Gold
- PETG Urban Grey
- PETG Ultramarine Blue
- PETG Galaxy Black
- PETG Pistachio Green
- PETG Terracotta Light."

Hi,
Could you please update this list?
The store’s selection of filaments has expanded significantly.
Thanks!

From my point of view and given information it is a misconception to assume that when one part of a product is "food-safe" that the whole product is food-safe - food-safe in a legaly way.
If somebody is in need to do something which "sounds" food-safe then maybe a sealant can give you this feeling...just a feeling not an approval which stands up in front of a court!!!

To get a "food-safe" label (or certification) for a product costs a lot of money, a lot of money...
