Amaco Potter's Choice Glaze – Tuscan Blue (16 oz)

The AP Seal identifies art materials that are safe and certified in a toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute or chronic health problems. Children in grade six and lower, and adults who may not be able to read and understand safety labeling should use only non-toxic materials. The AP Seal ensures products are non-toxic when used as intended for young children, the physically or mentally handicapped, and any persons who cannot read or understand the safety labeling on product packages.

“Food Safe” is a regulation and is defined by the Compliance Policy Guide, which is maintained by the FDA and only applies to lead and cadmium release. For example, “Food Safe” may refer to a glaze in its final, fired state. If a product has a food safe designation, it has gone through testing and passed industry standards for food safety when used according manufacturer’s direction. Finishedware producers bear responsibility for food safe testing their ware being sold into commerce.

"Dinnerware safe" refers to tableware that is considered safe for use with food and drinks. This means that the material used to create the dinnerware has been tested and confirmed not to contain harmful levels of chemicals such as lead or cadmium, which can potentially leach and cause health problems. It also means that the surface of the dinnerware is non-porous and smooth, without any cracks, chips or other imperfections that could harbor bacteria and contaminate food or drinks.
