Frequently Asked Questions

Is genuine edible silver leaf safe to eat?

Yes. Gold Gourmet Genuine Edible Silver Leaf Flakes are certified E174, the food additive classification for silver. Silver is chemically inert with no taste, odour, or nutritional value. It passes through the digestive system unchanged and is completely safe for consumption when used on food as directed.

How do I apply loose edible silver leaf flakes without tearing?

Use a soft, dry food-safe brush to pick up individual flakes and position them precisely on your surface. For a scattered effect, gently tip a small amount from the pack. Always work in a still, draught-free environment, and keep hands dry — moisture causes flakes to clump and lose their individual appearance. Seal the pack tightly between uses and store in a cool, dry place.
