Yes. Gold Gourmet Genuine Edible Silver Leaf is certified E174 — the food additive classification for silver approved for use in food. It is chemically inert with no taste, odour, or nutritional value, and passes through the digestive system unchanged. It is safe for all ages when used as directed on food items. How do I apply loose edible silver leaf without tearing? Loose silver leaf is more delicate than transfer sheets and requires care. Work in a completely still, draught-free environment. Use a soft, dry food-safe brush to lift and place each sheet. Avoid touching the silver with bare fingers as moisture and skin oils cause immediate tearing. For a crumpled or layered look, work over the top of your surface and gently coax the silver into position with the brush tip.
