This is the manufacturer's info on it:
NON TOXIC GLITTERS (NON-TOXIC - not harmful) The Sparkle Range
Non toxic glitters can be used on decorations that are easily removed. If consumed, then the product will cause no harm and will simply pass through the digestive system. This product can not be classed as edible as this would mean it is digestible and is classed as a food, therefore we simply have to label it as Non-Toxic

Disco dust is fine grain PLASTIC craft glitter. It's meant to be used only on items that will be removed before consumption.
I don't use it on anything that will be eaten because, personally, I don't knowingly eat plastic and I don't want to have to disclose to the people eating my cakes that I'm feeding them plastic on purpose.
For things that will be eaten, I use edible glitter/sparkles (gum arabic), sanding sugar, and/or FDA approved pearl luster dusts by Crystal Colors.

even though it says Non-Toxic is it Edible or Not????
The words non toxic and edible are not interchangeable.
Non toxic means it is not made to be eaten, but shouldn't hurt you if you eat it. Think Elmer's glue. It is non-toxic, but that doesn't mean that you should just smear it all over your toast in the morning.
Edible means it is made for you to eat and is safe for you to eat.
