Is the ink really edible & safe?

Yes! Edible ink is formulated with food-grade ingredients and undergoes rigorous safety protocols:

  • Ingredients & certification: These inks often hold GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), Kosher, ISO/FDA certifications and are produced in ISO‑9001/22000 facilities, ensuring they meet food-safety standards.

  • Formulation: Made from purified water, glycerin, edible dyes, and preservatives—not the toxic solvents found in standard inks.

  • Usage safety: Safe when printed onto approved edible surfaces and consumed as part of the food. However, avoid direct skin contact with vape devices and keep airways clear.

  • Storage: Keep cartridges sealed—unopened units can last 12–18 months if stored at 15–25 °C, away from light and high humidity icinginks.com+12icinginks.com+12icinginks.com+12. After opening, use within 3–6 months.
