Is 18/8 a food-safe metal?

Hello ! Can you please tell something about LFBG German Foodlaw Test. And also please confirm that 18/8 is a food safe or not ?

Hi, Safa.

18/8 is certainly a foodsafe material, widely used for flatware and cookware around the world. But regulations for food manufacturing plants may be different, and I'm sure that electropolished 316 is preferred. Hopefully someone will give you a URL for the German Foodlaw Test you refer to.
