Product Information

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. However, less pure examples of gold will not necessarily be safe as the impurities within such gold such as zinc copper, iron or silver can be toxic in higher quantities (although edible silver does also exist).

These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. Manetti gold is certified food-grade, as they dedicate their entire factory exclusively to food production. The other Gold Chef products, powder, flakes and crumbs, are available in paper envelopes with parchment inside, or in glass jars, with a convenient spreader.No matter which you choose, you should know that there are endless opportunities out there for you to add a little glitz and glamor to your food without having to worry about getting sick in the process. The reason why some gold leaf can be cheap is that it is either imitation gold leaf or not very high in karat purity.

Gold is edible, as is silver, if it complies with the minimum purity parameters required by law and if it is produced according to correct food practices (*). The beauty of this form of decoration is that the gold flakes will work perfectly well as a garnish to decorate both savoury dishes and desserts.

While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer. Moreover, edible gold and silver are composed of pure metals: 24 carat, 23 carat gold and pure silver. Know also that other metal leaf varieties also exist, although, once again, you’ll want to make sure that your copper leaf and silver leaf are indeed edible before you decide to eat it. You can use the gold leaf flakes to decorate cakes, cupcakes, macaroons, chocolates, desserts, baking goods and so on.
