Is wood glue safe to use on bowls that will hold food?

Wood glue is generally not safe for use on bowls that will hold food, as many wood glues contain harmful chemicals and are not food-safe. If you want to use a wood finish, look for glues specifically labeled as food-safe, such as those made from natural ingredients or certain types of epoxy. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure the product is suitable for food contact. When in doubt, it’s best to use finishes designed for kitchenware.
