I really enjoy using luster dust to decorate my chocolates as do many chocolatiers. While what I have been using has been noted as non-toxic and not a food ingredient, I do not know how much or to what extent I can safely use it. I am aware that FDA approved luster dust is available and would like to know who uses it exclusively or any other feedback.Thank you.

I only use EDIBLE luster dust. If it's not clearly marked edible I prefer not to use it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback valuable information. It happens that Crystal Colors is one that I am ordering to work with and may decide to use exclusively if I like.

I don't wear contacts, but if I did I'd be willing to try it out. I wish they had more pics of other colors.

Chef Rubber might have a kosher-certified luster dust that is FDA approved. One way to apply is to mix with melted cocoa butter and decorating the insides of the molds.
