i know yall love sharing items from small shops and supporting small businesses and small creators is great, but yall really need to stop sharing items from resin shops that make resin dishware and cutlery until you do further research.
there is a food safe resin, HOWEVER, the vast majority of shops will not be using it. its extremely fucking expensive, and to remain food safe, any dyes or additives used must also be food safe, and the piece will have to have been mixed and cured correctly. anything wrong in that process, and it’s no longer food safe.
the vast majority of resins, especially those cheap enough for artists and small creators to regularly use, is poisonous. its a carcinogen. it will leech chemicals, even if given a clear coat or varnish, and you can get very sick very fucking quickly from eating or drinking anything that came into contact with it, and long term exposure could very well kill you- this isn’t taking into account any additives to the resin, dyes, or colorants either, the vast majority of those are not regulated for food use.
an absolute boom in resin crafters from over quarantine hasn’t helped this situation either. many simply do not know or do not care and will sell items that are suspect at best. partially cured pieces, bad molds, just plain inappropriate items used in resin crafting have gotten very common over the past few years, and still are.
TL;DR: Most resins are NOT food safe, and are incredibly toxic. Do not buy or share anything made of it for food use. Shops selling appropriate food safe resin items will be flat out about it, and are going to be extremely expensive.
And remember “food safe” or something safe for food contact does NOT mean it is safe to eat off! Different resins release their chemicals at different rates, so just because food can briefly touch something, it does not mean its safe for the food to sit there for prolonged periods and then be eaten. It needs to be food GRADE. Let me stress this again: FOOD SAFE IS NOT SAFE TO EAT OFF.
Tbh just perhaps avoid resin food related products.

companies underestimate how much locking their content behind needing an account will just make me go do something else. oh your website wants me to make an account to view this content? oh your website doesn’t show media to logged-out users? okay. i didn’t actually want to see it that bad. yeah. bye ✌️
