Can anyone recommend a non-toxic water-resistant glue? I am doing some
remodeling to kitchen and want to apply some glue to a surface that is
exposed to food. Is there a glue that has an FDA-approved label of
some sort? I am afraid that regular epoxy may outgas/leach nasty stuff.

Exactly what are you gluing?

I'd use epoxy because it is safe

Epoxy resins provide an important coating for food and beverage cans that
helps to protect food and beverages from contamination with dissolved metals
and from spoilage due to bacterial contamination.

Either epoxy or silicone are food safe once cured. Exactly what do you
want to stick together?

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

Thanks all for the info... I'm looking to fix a broken plate and I was
wondering the same thing. As a side note, I've been a subject in a
linguistics experiment where I had sensors glued to my tongue. One of
the professors was from the dental school and he said that the glue
they were using was basically superglue (probably medical grade
though). I don't advocate eating superglue in any quantity, and I'll
probably use epoxy for my fix it project (b/c I think that superglue
is actually water soluble), but I just wanted to share this anecdotal
nugget that superglue isn't as toxic as it smells.
