Finally found some PLA that actually has the SGS/FDA lab tests for food safety. Review inside.

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking for a legitimate "food safe" filament for a while now and I think I finally found a winner. I’ve been testing out this yxpolyer Food Safe PLA+ I randomly found on Amazon and figured I’d shred my thoughts after running through a roll. The main reason I’m really like them is the SGS testing. It 3rd party passed an US FDA 21 CFR 175.300 test and they include this certificate with every roll. It’s nice to see a company actually doing the lab work instead of just slapping a "food grade" sticker on a random roll of PLA. I’m aware of the later line issue and bacteria and all that. Trust me. I can sanitize my stuff. It’s just nice knowing this is “clean” filament. Specs & My Experience: • Weight: the spool came DRY! My roll weighed in at 1173g before a 6 hour dry at 55c. It only lost 1g of weight. Most rolls I do are anywhere from 2-5g after drying. • Tolerance: was consistent. It’s been running smooth through my setup without any clogs or flow issues. • Finish: PLA+ but has a finish extremely similar to matte PLA The "Food Safe" Caveat: I know even with food-safe resin/plastic, the process of FDM leaves layer lines. I’m still planning on using food-safe epoxy or just using these for short-term contact (like cookie cutters or dry goods), but having the peace of mind that the raw material itself isn't leaching toxins is worth it, considering it’s the same price as most other filaments per KG. Has anyone else tried yxpolyer yet? Curious if you’ve had the same experiences. submitted by /u/Expensive-Ice196 [link] [comments]
