Safe ingredients typically include sugar, acacia (gum arabic), maltodextrin, cornstarch, and color additives that have been approved for food use, like mica-based pearlescent pigments. Also, keep an eye out for the word “edible.” Most edible products will contain the word “edible” on the label. And remember, “non-toxic” doesn’t mean “edible.” If the ingredients aren’t listed, the FDA recommends staying away.
