Randall,
As King Ron and Prince Jon have said before, There is no "food safe"
law or guideline regarding ceramic surfaces here in the US. The FDA
DOES have guidelines for lead and cadmium with respect to ceramic
surfaces. See below for details. I still think that our best method of
framing these types of discussions amongst ourselves and with
customers is to discuss the _release_ of these and other constituents
from our glazes, rather than are they food safe. We can only control
how we manufacture our glazes, so we are smart to talk to that rather
than speculate on what may or may not happen at someone's dinner
table.
