I've been buying Old Gold Luster dust for years and using it without problem. I just used it on the edges of 20 cookies, and I notice that now it has a sticker that says (for decoration purposes only), does say non toxic on the label. This is new! Did they pass a law or something? Can anyone comfort me that this is ok??? I've heard before all these dusts are used in England without a problem.
Is another case of silver dragees...something people ate for years that suddenly got classified as inedible?
I just ran a search online and found this:
Old Gold Luster Dust
and this:
LUSTER DUST-OLD GOLD
Non-Toxic. Gives subtle color with a high sheen metallic-like finish.
Contains two or more of the following: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Carmine, Mica.
Not water soluble.
2 grams.
Must be labeled "for decorative use only" and is not intended for ingestion.
As opposed to say Wilton dust:
Pearl Dust™

AIm in the uk and all our decorating lustre dusts and glitters say non toxic judt for decorating, they are fine to eat just means dont have a pot of pink glitter with your sausage and chips. Ie it wont hurt you but its not meant for eating. I know thsts a bit of an oxymoran but they have to put it on the label its safe to decorate with and safe for people to consume you just might end up with glittery poo, a bonus in my eyes lol
