Can composite material outdoor ottomans be certified as food-safe surfaces?
Composite material outdoor ottomans can potentially be certified as food-safe surfaces, but this depends on the specific materials and manufacturing processes used. To meet food-safe standards, the composite must be non-toxic, free from harmful chemicals, and resistant to bacterial growth. Some manufacturers apply food-grade coatings or use resins that comply with FDA or EU regulations for food contact. However, not all composite ottomans are designed for this purpose, so checking certifications like NSF or FDA approval is essential. Always verify with the manufacturer if the product is intended for direct food contact, especially for outdoor use where weathering may affect safety over time.
