Yo, Rolf.
I remember this as a legitimate question a couple of times back when I
was in Regulatory Affairs.
My stock answer was that while the polymer may have FDA approval for
food contact, we did not recommend eating them.
Cases I remember where an extruder plastic part was coming apart and
not discovered until after a lot of candy was made and feeding of
scrap candy bars which may contain traces of wrappers to farm animals.
