Non-toxic glitter is manufactured from plastic and is not digestible
For years, cake glitter has been sold in pots labelled either 'edible' or 'non-toxic'.
Edible glitter is made from starch-based food products that can be digested by the body.
Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood said: "If a glitter is non-toxic it's not poisonous and technically I wouldn't have a problem eating a cake with it on."
His fellow judge Mary Berry, known as the Queen of Cakes, said: "I think we need some common sense.
Make sure the glitter is edible and check the labels.
I like using edible flowers such as violets or primroses instead."
