The FDA only has objection to health claims. I sell CS on my website. I link to the silver list and tell people that they can make it themselves.
In a letter the FDA warned me: 1.that any links are to be interrupted as a label. Therefore links that make medical claims are medical claims made by me. 2. That [as a California licensed acupuncturist and herbalist] I may make dietary suggestions. However dietary suggestions - in their view - mean that it must be consumed and not placed on the skin. (I suggested that CS may help when applied directly to the skin in certain cases).

Are those little decorative silver balls that are put on cupcakes and things safe? A. The FDA has a fact sheet on Dragees (their actual name) and states that "We have no evidence of harm to health from the extremely small quantity of silver in the coating. Therefore, the FDA has not objected to the presence of silver on these decorations when they are used as a cake decoration."
