On the website I found this quote: "As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food-safe compliant." This is false, I have found a few including Recreus PP3D natural (https://3d.nice-cdn.com/upload/file/P3D800FG-REGULATORY-REV0.pdf section 2). Does Polymaker have any plans to create a new (or vertify an old) filament as food-safe?

So here's the problem. The materials themselves can be food safe, but the process is NOT. Bacteria can built up in the layer gaps and that's bad. We can use raw materials that are good safe, but that just doesn't translate well into end use parts. The link you sent says the same thing. "the composition of this product....." and that does not make it food safe
also making sure the machine is sanitary and a whole other can of worms. They do make chocolate printers
I've read about the "cleaning filament" and the resin post-treatment. I just want to print aquarium decorations that aren't going to poison my fish. (And maybe some fancy chopsticks 🥢)
As far as aquarium goes i have had petg pieces in aquariums for years with no ill affects.
