Edible gold leafs are not the same gold leafs used to decorate walls, furniture, and valuable objects. Edible gold is made from genuine gold and is manufactured specifically for the food industry with strict safety standards; this means all the equipment is lubricated with vegetable oil instead of toxic industrial oil.

Our edible gold leaf contains no chemicals, vegetal extracts, anti-oxidants, bio-additives, preservatives, or chelating agents.

Generally, gold leaf from 22-24k is suitable for human consumption. The United States and the European Union authorised the genuine gold leaf for human consumption under food colouring # E175 and the genuine silver leaf under food colouring # E174). The leafs are so thin that they will disintegrate in your mouth instantly.
