These are NOT edible ingredients and have no place in culinary preparation.\n\nPlastic flowers are produced through molding, injection, or hand-assembly processes and are intended solely for decoration. They contain no nutritional value and pose a serious choking hazard and potential source of toxins if ingested. They should never be consumed or used in food preparation.
Culinary Uses
Plastic flowers have NO culinary uses whatsoever. They are non-edible synthetic objects and should never be incorporated into food or beverages. While plastic flowers may be used as table decorations in dining settings, they must be kept completely separate from food preparation surfaces and dishes. Any contact between plastic flowers and food is a food safety violation.
