Cashew paste cadmium plating: Important caution on compatibility

Summary for cashew paste cadmium plating Discussion

Cashew paste and cadmium plate is a question about whether cashew sealing paste might react with cadmium plating during curing or later storage. Mark Lees asked if anyone had experience with such a reaction. Ted Mooney replied that he had no direct experience with cashew paste adhesives, but noted that he knows little about them and hoped others would contribute. He also raised a separate caution: anything that will ever touch food should not touch cadmium. Ted asked for clarification on how the cadmium plating is being used, suggesting it may be part of a glued assembly or a sealed gap rather than a food-contact application. No actual reaction was confirmed in the thread, so the discussion remains an open request for practical experience rather than a settled answer.
