## FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material food safe?</strong></summary>

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

<summary><strong>Is this material AMS compatible?</strong></summary>

Yes! All Polymaker spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS

<summary><strong>Is this material recyclable?</strong></summary>
