Is this wax food safe?

I believe he's asking if surfaces treated with the wax are safe for holding or preparing food. I would say no since it is a petroleum based wax. Look for a food safe shellac, beeswax finish, tung oil, mineral oil, ect.

The FDA does not really clear any finishing product as "food safe" anymore. They do however label products as non-toxic or safe for "casual contact" with food. According to my research, almost any SEALANT produced in the US once fully and properly cured is considered food safe/non-toxic for causal food contact.

Wax food? This product is not for eating, it's for waxing metal and wood items for protection against corrosion.

The package does not state the source of the wax. I suggest you contact the GUM Butler company to find out. I would guess the wax is not beeswax.

It's a non-toxic plant based wax....and it's the best I have ever used. Highly recommend it!!

No,it's not. actually,u can warm it up in microwave but wax will get firm in a short time.u will have to go back to microwave many times before u finish waxing a large area. If u need to wax a small area then it could be warmed up in microwave easily.

no, the container is aluminum, it is designed to be heated in the wax warmer. Might explode (or at least spark) in the microwave. Best microwaveable wax (imho) is Sally Hansen Brazilian Bikini Wax, also available on Amazon. ~cheers

Yes, it's safe. I used it on my asphalt shingles four years ago and have not had any mold since then.

No, the wax container is made of metal, might explode. In case you decide to proceed with using microwave for heating of this wax anyway, please record video of the process and post it on the product page ;)

It is a good lube and it is food safe. I see no reason why you couldn't use it.

It is, but be careful not to use it for microwaving fats, greases, butter and the like as it will pretty much be ruined!

They are not wax (but they look like it!). They are polycarbonate (plastic) and shouldn't be an issue using in one of the southern states. They also don't give off heat if that's what you're worry about as well. Hope that helps!

It doesn't say on the container, but I would imagine that it is safe. If you continue to have concerns, you should contact the company itself. Sorry that I couldn't be more specific.

oh- i am not so sure you should be putting it in the microwave..i don't know if that might negatively impact the therapeutic aspectsbecause it is so pure and unprocessed it contains an amount of bee's wax-- if i need some to be liquid i just take mine and put it in a container and rest that container in a bit of boiling water. if i am using it in hot tea or something hot and liquid i just carve out a bit of a chunk with a flat knife that i've put into the hot liquid--it dissolves very quickly

No, it is more of a teflon powder that sprays out. You will need to replace a worn pan. I'm sure this isn't food safe.

Yes! I have never used this before and thought it would be more like other waxes I have used. I wish I had come here to see these questions before using it as my house reeks and it is too cold to open the windows. I will not use this again unless I can use it outside.

NO! Never put it in the microwave! This is professional wax that has to be used with the wax warmer.
