different question on low fire/food safe

Hi Everyone,
I have a weird question.... I make platters for serving food (with low fire clay & glazes). I just finished a really beautiful one and it came out of the glaze fire with 1 (only one) tiny pin hole. Does that make it unuseable for food (I would think yes) ? And if so, should I try and refire it. Usually, if I have multiple pin holes, I will just throw the piece away. But I really like this one and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
Thank you in advance,
Stacey Ballard
