*Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Edible gold has been used for centuries as a luxury food decoration and is recognized as safe for its intended use in many countries. In the European Union, edible gold is authorized as the food additive E175 under the EU Food Additives Regulation. In Switzerland, edible gold is likewise permitted for use in food in accordance with Swiss food legislation, which is closely aligned with European standards. In the United States, edible gold is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as suitable for use as a decorative food ingredient, provided it meets the applicable purity and food-grade requirements.

Because gold is biologically inert, it is not absorbed by the human body and passes through the digestive system unchanged. It is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, and does not affect the flavor, aroma, or quality of food.

Edible gold intended for culinary use must be manufactured specifically for food applications under strict quality standards and comply with the food safety regulations of the destination market. High-purity edible gold is widely used around the world to decorate chocolates, pastries, desserts, beverages, and gourmet dishes, adding a distinctive premium appearance while maintaining the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance.

DeLafée edible gold products are manufactured specifically for food applications and comply with the applicable regulatory requirements for edible gold. They are produced using high-purity food-grade gold under strict quality controls to ensure purity, safety, and consistency. DeLafée edible gold is trusted by premium chocolatiers, pastry chefs, food manufacturers, and luxury brands worldwide for its exceptional quality and regulatory compliance.
