food safe apier mache

Hello
I'm wondering if there are good choices to make for producing food safe pieces of papier mache.  For example, is wallpaper paste still safe to use if it has a rodenicide in it?  Will acryllic medium seal the piece enough to protect the interior from the food and wahing moisture and o protect the user from the newspaper chemicals/ adhesive chemicals?  I don't plan to put things through a dishwasher, but will need to be able to hand wash them.  Any help is appreciated! 
Thanks,
Rachel

Re: food safe apier mache

I think that the fungicide in wallpaper paste means that you shouldn't get it near foodstuffs. I also think that you can never seal a piece well enough to protect either a) it from the food or b) the food from it. The closest I would get to using papier mache items for food use would be to put wrapped sweets (candies) in it. I wouldn't wash anything - I'd just wipe it with a damp cloth.
